* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Joker beating Harley is treated with all the seriousness and gravity that DomesticAbuse would deserve, showing that for all his silly schemes and charisma, he's still a loathsome and disgusting person in small ways as well as big ways. Harley beating up the Joker is PlayedForLaughs by contrast, although the fact the one she's beating up is ''the Joker'', making it more like [[TheDogBitesBack justified karmic retribution]].



* The episode that introduced Numbah One's girlfriend Lizzy in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' involved her tricking him into putting on a helmet known as the "Yes Dear 9000", which turns the boyfriend into a slave to their whims. Subverted in that despite it being ''mass produced and the helmet's effects becoming permanent over time'', the use of it is ''not'' portrayed as okay, and after Numbah One gets angry enough for it to break on its own he very firmly tells her ''never'' to use one of them on him again. Though that's her only punishment, and he doesn't break up with her or even be upset with her for more than a few moments after breaking free.



* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'':
** Subverted in one episode when a man who invented a time machine is forced to deal with his verbally abusive wife, which eventually leads to his FaceHeelTurn and an eventual BadFuture. On the other hand, the episode ends with him [[spoiler:being trapped in a time loop reliving the same few minutes with said wife over and over again.]]
** Averted as a whole with the entire series where battles are concerned. Female characters hitting male characters is depicted with all the gravity and seriousness you would expect when a potentially superpowered professional fighter hits someone else, and conversely the male characters have no qualms whatsoever about [[WouldHitAGirl swinging right back at full strength]].



* Somewhat averted in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' with Nathan's relationship with Rebecca. While her blatant verbal abuse seems to be PlayedForLaughs at first, the other band members quickly convince him to break up with her ([[RefugeInAudacity albeit by behaving even more violently toward him]]).
** It's also shown in another episode that the "Yes Dear 9000" can be modified to work on girls. Which is then used to full effect on [[LaserGuidedKarma Lizzie]] by her own aborrant admirer, and is portrayed with the exact same amount of horror as it was with Nigel.
* The pilot episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' has Wilma use the reliable old gag of hitting Fred over the head with a frying pan at one point.



* In ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', Rocko's encounters with Gladys the Hippo Lady almost always involve this.
** Also, the ShowWithinAShow, ''Meet the Fatheads'' often features Mrs. Fathead bashing her HenpeckedHusband with a parking meter. (Though he sometimes hits her with parking meters, too.) The creator of the "series," Ralph Bighead, says that the characters were made as a TakeThat against his parents, who act like milder versions of the Fatheads. WordOfGod says that the only one that Ed Bighead is afraid of is his wife, Bev.

Added another Futurama example where an episode displays Ndnd blatantly abusing Lrrr domestically

Added DiffLines:

** Ndnd had displayed this kind of behavior towards her husband Lrrr as revealed in “Lrrrenconcilable Ndndifferences” as when she kicks Lrrr out of their palace for botching an invasion on Earth, she hits him on the head with a frying pan so hard that it sticks to his head. Although Leela sees Lrrr in this state when he comes to crash at the Planet Express building, she blows it off and still takes Ndnd’s side. She even contemplated hitting Lrrr with a frying pan herself. Nonetheless, Ndnd is never called out or punished for the domestic violence displayed in the episode.

Both times it was a male character hitting someone, so this doesn't count.


* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' plays this mostly straight in "Arthur's Big Hit". In that episode, DW wrecks Arthur's model airplane even after she was told very clearly not to touch it, which prompts Arthur to give her a hard punch on the shoulder. He gets punished instantly after that, and the episode tries to portray DW in a sympathetic limelight. But when Arthur himself gets punched on the shoulder by Binky, it's treated more like LaserGuidedKarma on his part. Just imagine how this episode would be written had the two swapped genders.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' episode "Heavy Meddle", when Lincoln's sisters find out that a girl has been bullying him, they go from {{BullyHunter}}s to utterly ecstatic because they thought that the bully was a boy.

** In "Members Only", the Girls want to join a men-only club --- the Association of Worldwide Super Men (aka AWSM) --- and even though they pass, they are still denied their wishes simply because they're underage girls. Even though they try to convince them, the AWSM still reject them. When Mascumax comes to attack, and [[CurbStompBattle mercilessly defeat the AWSM]], the Powerpuff Girls initially refuse to help, but eventually do so, and [[CurbStompBattle easily turn the tables]]. When Mascumax is defeated, the AWSM are sheepishly remorseful for their former attitude toward the Girls. However, the Girls, still bitter,[[UngratefulBastard aren't very willing to forgive and forget]], and as a punishment, [[DisproportionateRetribution the AWSM have to give up their men-only policy, and dress up in Powerpuff Girl dresses as "karma".]]
** In "Equal Fights", the Powerpuff temporarily take the [[JerkassBall Jerkass Ball]] and start to act rude towards all the boys and men in Townsville [[AllCrimesAreEqual for minor infractions towards another woman and even if women are not oppressed by men]], after Femme Fatale convinces them to. While Ms. Bellum and Ms. Keane do talk sense into the Girls, they only do this hours after the mistreatment, which they saw with their own eyes, and didn't bother stepping in when it happened. Even when the Girls [[BluntYes admit to overreacting]], they still have doubts about women's rights. This hits harder when the female victims come in, revealing that Femme Fatale is [[{{Hypocrite}} only in it for herself]], in that's the girls end up remorseful for the mistreatment they had done to the boys in Townsville, Ms. Keane and Ms. Bellum they give girls motivating and motherly words that they should protect everyone (including Men and Boys), and that's when the Girls proceed to punish her [[SkewedPriorities for tricking them, even taking their ever-so-sweet time to learn about Susan B. Anthony to try to one-up Femme Fatale.]] Although it's played as heroic, this doesn't change.
*** Note that both of these were episodes on gender equality, but the reactions to these episodes would [[DoubleStandard be diverse if the sexes were flipped]].

** A scene where Marge rapes Homer is played for laughs. No, seriously. In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E9TheStrongArmsOfTheMa The Strong Arms of the Ma]]", Marge becomes a muscular body-builder. When Homer refuses to have sex with her because he'd rather go to sleep, she overpowers him and says "I wasn't asking". A GilliganCut then shows Homer walking funny the morning after. Ha.
** Averted in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E2TheHomerOfSeville Homer of Seville]]", where Homer becomes a popular opera singer, and has to fight off hordes of loving fans. Julia, a woman who rescues Homer from a mob of them, becomes his manager in an attempt to seduce him. She goes so far as to ''strip herself naked'' in front him. Homer, however, is disturbed by all this, and fires Julia. When Julia makes a threat on Homer's life, Chief Wiggum puts up a lot of security to protect him.

She has kicked her love interest, Duncan, in the crotch numerous times just in order to win competitions, and sometimes just for flirting with her when she was in a bad mood. However, at the very least Courtney's behavior is portrayed as wrong and the viewer is supposed to sympathize with Duncan's pain.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Down played with Nicole Watterson. She is generally a loving, if imperfect wife and mother about Richard and her children, and some fans do think her parenting could be dysfunctional. When does Double Standard come in? She does however threaten her family from time to time, such as in episodes like, The Egg, The Limit, or any other times she's seen threatening or being extra strict to Richard or her kids. She may be seen as much more abusive if not for the fact she's a women (and some fans argue it doesn't help that much), considering how rude she can be to Richard and Gumball (fathers in animation can only get away with being extra stern to their daughters, most often they won't dish it out on them as much as they do to their sons, or their wives do) that's saying a lot.
