* After MelGibson started a scandal with DomesticAbuse and racist behavior, many voices clamored that this should be a teaching moment to teach ''men'' about how wrong it is to abuse ''women.'' Some articles even went as far as to define rape as obviously a violent act done by men, which causes UnfortunateImplications considering that not all rapes are physically violent or perpetrated by men.
** Something similar happened with the {{Rhianna}} and ChrisBrown scandal. Entertainment Weekly writer Mark Harris notes that while celebrities shouldn't be role models, he screws up big time with his "teachable moment": "[[http://find.galegroup.com.proxy.lib.uni.edu/gtx/retrieve.do?contentSet=IAC-Documents&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&qrySerId=Locale%28en%2CUS%2C%29%3AFQE%3D%28sp%2CNone%2C2%2924%3AAnd%3AFQE%3D%28iu%2CNone%2C4%291039%3AAnd%3AFQE%3D%28sn%2CNone%2C9%291049-0434%24&sgHitCountType=None&inPS=true&sort=DateDescend&searchType=AdvancedSearchForm&tabID=T003&prodId=AONE&searchId=R1¤tPosition=1&userGroupName=uni_rodit&docId=A195459088&docType=IAC Don't hit women.

** Might be because female-on-male domestic violence is rare, except for some anti-feminist groups. How come no one ever talks about male-on-male domestic violence, or female-on-female?

** The number of rapes committed by men is something like high 90th percentile.

** This is ''[[ComedicSociopathy FamilyGuy]]''. Lois' blatantly sexist reaction is definitely tongue-in-cheek.

* It seems every LifeTime movie is about a woman being abused in some way by a man.

* One Word: [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek Lifetime]].

* In [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitleh1s6f6m5?from=Main.DegrassiTheNextGeneration Degrassi]] many "tough topics" are covered. Many rape victims have received their own VerySpecialEpisode by now, yet every instance of rape or abuse has been perpetrated by a man. The only character who is ever abused (emotionally) by a woman is Ellie and her mother is portrayed as more of a victim. Also, it can be argued that Emma is emotionally abusive toward Sean but this is never addressed in the show.

* A lot of ''LadyGaga'' songs deal with rape and sexual violence see: ''Monster''. All of them seem to deal with abuse as a women's issue that men perpetrate to the exclusion of other options.

Please avoid TakeThat edits due to the nature of this trope.

* In ''MoulinRouge'', scenes where women push sex on men who are not interested are seen as awkward at worst, but scenes where men attempt to push sex on women are seen as violent and horrifying.

* Subverted during the third season of ''DesperateHousewives'' when Alma and [[EvilMatriarch Gloria]] put up a plan to drug Orson so that Alma can get pregnant from Orson while he's unconscious. When she finds them, Bree points it out clearly by accusing Alma of raping her husband.

* Subverted in the TV movie ''Men Don't Tell'', which features Judith Light abusing the shit out of Peter Strauss.

* In 40 Days and 40 Nights, none of the characters address the fact that while Josh Hartnett's character is not only unconscious, but handcuffed to his bed-frame, his ex-girlfriend breaks into his apartment, mounts him in his sleep, and brings him to orgasm. The after effects of this event are far worse as his character's relationship with his current girlfriend is almost ruined, while his ex benefits financially from it.

* In ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', girls do harass and beat up on Anthy (including more sympathetic characters like Juri) but the real BigBad/abusive character is indisputably [[spoiler: Akio]]. Also, there is the implication (as is mentioned under UnfortunateImplications on the main ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' page that lesbian relationships are more pure than heterosexual ones. If Anthy is ever portrayed as abusive towards Utena it seems to be entirely due to Akio's scheming and can be understood in that light.
