** In "Big Man on Hippocampus", Stewie puts several characters in a simulation with amnesia. When Peter, Brian, Quagmire and Joe encounter each other, the four were able to get along in the beginning before things went downhill. In contrast, Meg, Lois and Bonnie quickly start scratching and pulling each others' hair, and weren't able to leave the hospital.

** There was also a Cutaway Gag on the difference between male friendship and female friendship. The females were acting passive aggressive to one another while the males were able to talk normally.

** "Chaos At The Earth's Core" has a team of Leaguers consisting of John Stewart, S.T.R.I.P.E. Supergirl and Stargirl. Throughout the episode, Stargirl is jealous of Supergirl's popularity and thinks she only got into the League due to her connection to Superman. When she sees how vulnerable Supergirl is when her powers start fading, Satrgirl realizes how foolish her attitude towards her is.

* Explicitly defied in ''VideoGame/ProjectSekai''. One of the four main groups, the all-girl MORE MORE JUMP!, has the original song "Newly Edgy Idols" which discusses this trope. One singer laments that girls' friendships are often considered "as thin as a slice of ham", so their aim is to show the world how close and supportive they all are of each other to the point where that "slice" is as big as a steak. The MMJ members themselves are all incredibly good friends.

In many stories, it seems women can't be friends (or aren't very good friends) because they tend to be bitchy towards each other. Sometimes a female protagonist has no more than one or two female friends, but she can't seem to make anymore because they're either {{Alpha Bitch}}es or there's something about the protagonist that rubs other females the wrong way. In worst cases, she has no female friends at all and has a mutual hatred for every female character she encounters. This is also common in [[SinisterSororitySisters sororities.]]

* ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'': Valencia doesn't have female friends because she sees all other women as competition or jealous of her. This concept is lampooned in one of her songs, "Women Gotta Stick Together", which is a faux-female-empowerment song that's actually about tearing other women down. By season two, she's realized this and genuinely becomes friends with Heather and Rebecca.

** Dispensed as fatherly advice by Al Bundy to his son, who has discovered how mercurial girls can be. "Don't try to understand women. Women understand other women, and they hate each other." Bud nods in concurrence.

** When Raj's sister Priya dates Leonard, she and Penny have an icy relationship. Penny still secretly harbors feelings for Leonard, and Priya acts condescendingly toward's her and even tries to get Leonard to stop seeing her.
