No. Though I'm not really that interested regardless of what happens to either of the articles, "at best", both are tropes that hint at the fears of literary or pop culture stereotypes.

Of course if this was a publicly released article, this would be a problem.

As a draft, the first "vague" examples should be encouraged as to better narrow down the attributes InUnivserse examples need to have to fit this trope.

At the same time, the problem is the naming convention. It doesn't have to stick to strict Word of God or In Universe declaration. It could just be an In Universe interpretation as long as we treat both entries as pseudo-index type of articles. As long as it is this way, it fits the trope. If considered as tropes, both are basically short hand for Fear in Fiction or Fear as Portrayed and Defined by Pop Culture or The Types of Fears Fiction Makers Think Characters Should Have to be Realistic/Interesting.

Either direction whether there's a naming change or not, the issue still arises that you have to encourage vague initial examples of Masculine and Feminine Fear so as to create a more objective standard for when is the trope this versus when the examples are just random non-notable examples of fearful reactions.
