History Main / DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale

* In ''The Lyre of Orpheus'' by Robertson Davies, Dr. Dahl-Soot initiates a sexual relationship with the doctoral student she is mentoring. No one seems terribly concerned about this, although perhaps they don't know that it began with the professor basically ordering the student to take a bath, washing her personally, and finally getting in the tub with her.

* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': The bath scene in episode 6 combines NotWhatItLooksLike with NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization. Rei [[SkinshipGrope decides to see]] if [[ChristmasCake Shizuka]]'s GagBoobs are real, prompting Shizuka to try to escape by getting out of the tub. When Rei pounces her, Shizuka braces herself against the side of the tub. Except it's animated to make it seem as if Rei's screwing her doggy-style, while her breasts appear to be bouncing from Rei's 'pelvic thrusting'. When Saya looks over her shoulder and sees what's going on, she blushes and quickly turns back around. Two scenes later, Shizuka is shown slumped back in the tub, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar as if she'd been worn out....]]

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'':

* ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum'' has the adult [[spoiler:Yuri]]'s attempted rape of [[spoiler:Ringo]], an underage sixteen-year-old girl. On one hand, the rape isn't exactly portrayed as ''okay'', and it's made clear that the rapist is a messed-up person. However, the rape is used to develop the rapist's character and segue into the rapist's backstory, which gives off the vibe of rationalizing and excusing her actions, whereas the victim is reduced to a mere prop and has an uncomfortable amount of MaleGaze fanservice applied to her -- which ''may'' have been intended as FanDisservice, but the sheer exploitative nature of it makes the claim fall flat. The details of the rape are inconsistent from one episode to the next, with the rape being portrayed as rape one episode and as a titillating seduction in the next, and whether or not the rapist actually went through with it or not is ambiguous; the rescue attempt is played for comedy, and only happens due to a hideous amount of contrivity. Furthermore, the victim is completely unaffected by the ordeal and the rapist gets off with absolutely no repercussions for her actions, and the whole scene affects practically ''nothing'' in the grand scheme of the story and is quickly forgotten afterwards, save for being the subject of a brief joke a couple of episodes later, wasting a lot of character and story potential on top of everything else; in fact, the scene could be completely cut out of the story with little to no loss. The shoddy handling of the scene really smacks of the writers writing themselves into a corner and hastily retconning the story in an attempt to fix it, and given all the above, it's no surprise that some viewers consider this part of ''Penguindrum'' to be one of the lowest points in the series.

* In ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'', male would-be rapists (and perverts of the ''non''-[[ChivalrousPervert chivalrous]] variety) are arrested, punched in the face, or physically restrained depending on the situation. Suu... isn't, and nobody -- not even her victims -- expresses more than mild irritation about it. In an ''omake'', Miia explains that the girls don't see it as rape because while Suu ''does'' feel them up until they orgasm, there's no penetration involved.

* Zigzagged and ultimately subverted in the MLP fanfic ''FanFic/TheAlchemistsHeart'', when [[spoiler:Aqua Regia rapes Silver Script in the bathroom]] it is still treated as the former's MoraleEventHorizon, despite the latter taking some involuntary pleasure from it.

* Averted in ''FanFic/SunLight''. Sunset becomes a vampire, which lowers her [[[TheUnfettered moral inhibitions]], [[VampiresAreSexGods heightens her sex drive]], and amplifying her romantic feelings for Human Twilight. After catching Twilight alone, Vampire Sunset feels Twilight up a bit. Twilight, despite knowing Sunset wasn't in control of herself, still feels angry and traumatized at Sunset for violating her.

* Subverted in ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy''. Satan Girl's desire to rape both men and women is regarded as equally horrible.

* Averting this trope is pretty much the whole point behind the movie ''Film/{{Jaded}}''. The female lead is raped by two women, but legally, same-gender rape is not rape, it's "sodomy." She replies that she doesn't feel sodomized, she feels ''raped.'' Oh, sodomy charges also carry a dramatically reduced sentence compared to rape. Plus there's the whole "not if she liked it" justification, because the main character was skinny-dipping and making out with the two women, before deciding that being penetrated by a wine bottle and repeatedly slapped across the face was not her idea of a good time. In a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome crowning moment of awesome]], the main character's boyfriend helps demonstrate to her that an enjoyable kiss is ''not'' consent, and that rape starts as soon as you stop enjoying it.

* Vince, the DepravedBisexual of ''Film/WhereTheTruthLies'', drugs the film's heroine, reporter Karen O'Connor (Alison Lohman) and then arranges for Alice, an aspiring young singer he's training (and who, yes, dresses like Alice from ''Alice In Wonderland''), to have sex with Karen while Karen is stoned out of her mind and unable to think clearly. When Karen wakes up in the morning, completely naked and humiliated, even more so when Vince shows off the pictures of her drug-induced tryst (which he intends to use to blackmail her), Vince has the nerve to insinuate that it was no big deal - he even jokes about how Alice couldn't get her pregnant! The film doesn't really focus on it much in the final half but Karen is clearly not happy about what happened.

* Subverted in ''Film/DoubleImpact'', Danielle is sexually assaulted by [[TheBrute Kara]] and flees from the room frightened and upset.

* A bit of a ZigZaggingTrope in ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko''. [[spoiler: Chikane does rape Himeko, yes, and makes a rather dramatic FaceHeelTurn in the process]], but [[SadisticChoice the circumstances]] were [[BecauseDestinySaysSo more than a little contrived]], making for [[BrokenBase ample debate]] on whether or not she should still be held accountable. However, there is a notable lack of repercussions or even disapproval of her acts in-universe. Less of a DoubleStandard than most examples since a male villain (Miyako's brother Girochi) tries to rape Himeko at one point but is treated no less sympathetically in the end when everything gets set straight again and everyone is given their happy ending. [[GratuitousRape For whatever]] [[RomanticisedAbuse that's worth]]... and yet it's zigzagged ''again'' when [[spoiler: ''Chikane herself is molested and almost raped by Miyako'', but the viewer is NOT supposed to be on Miyako's side, contrasting by how the audience's supposed to root for Chikane despite being a rapist.]]

* Averted in the ''Anime/MaiHime'' fanfic, ''Fanfic/WindowsOfTheSoul''Natsuki states plainly that what happened to her has left serious emotional scars, and at one point even reflects on the fact that her now considering a physically intimate relationship with Shizuru was an issue, knowing that if a boy had done that to her, her current actions would be messed up.

* ''Manga/SaikinImoutoNoYousuGaChottoOkashiindaGa'': Hiyori rapes Mitsuki within minutes of her first appearance; this is played for fanservice and humor. Mitsuki is only slightly upset afterward, and [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization is outright stated to have secretly enjoyed it]].

One common exception to this trope is when the predator is depicted as a PsychoLesbian or if she's also a paedophile. This trope is related to DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale and is the DistaffCounterpart of DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale. See also SkinshipGrope. Related to QueerPeopleAreFunny.

* Felicity Flint doesn't always wait for consent. At least one of her victims later slid right into the RomanticizedAbuse trope.

* On ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' Dora makes a lot of [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=140# comments]] towards Faye, (and occasionally even [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=415 gropes her]]) that would be considered sexual harassment if she were male or at least wouldn't be PlayedForLaughs. Especially unfortunate since Dora is Faye's ''boss''.

One common exception to this trope is when the predator is depicted as a PsychoLesbian. This trope is related to DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale and is the DistaffCounterpart of DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale. See also SkinshipGrope. Related to QueerPeopleAreFunny.

The emotional impact of the rape is largely dismissed or ignored completely, usually because [[FanDisservice it would be less appealing to the audience]] for the victim to be legitimately traumatized ([[HetIsEw or sexually assaulted by a man]]), and ideas of consent and personal violation aren't often brought up at all: since a female rapist lacks a penis and therefore has no sexual potency, she is EasilyForgiven. Don't expect victims to think about it too hard, or at all, after the fact.

* Zigzagged in ''Anime/Macross7''. Mylene Jenius in the second ''Dynamite'' OVA gets drugged by her producer, with the episode cutting away from it and making in ambiguous exactly what occurred, though it's clear Mylene is terrified. The companion manga ''Mylene Beat'' expands on this by having Mylene's Zentradi instincts kick in thanks to a nearby dragon-like creature attacking the colony, sending her into a blind rage and giving her the strength to fight off her attacker until the others are able to break in to help her. However, while her friends are rightfully incensed at the attempted rape, once Mylene comes back to her senses and the dragon is taken care of via ThePowerOfMusic, she just brushes it off so she can focus on searching for Basara.

* Mylene Jenius from ''Anime/Macross7'' in the second ''Dynamite'' OVA almost became a victim of this trope. Possibly taken further in the companion manga ''Mylene Beat''.

One common exception to this trope is when the predator is depicted as a PsychoLesbia. This trope is related to DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale and is the DistaffCounterpart of DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale. See also SkinshipGrope. Related to QueerPeopleAreFunny.

A relative of DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale and the DistaffCounterpart of DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale. See also SkinshipGrope. Related to QueerPeopleAreFunny.

RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil- except when only women are involved.

* Subverted in ''Webcomic/SabrinaOnline''. Zig Zag acts like this towards Sabrina after initially hiring her, engaging in conduct that she later admits was a sexual harassment lawsuit in the making, Zig Zag rationalizing her behavior as getting Sabrina to "loosen up". When Zig Zag corners Sabrina in a shared hotel room, Sabrina punches Zig Zag in the face, which makes Zig Zag realize just how far she'd gone over the line. Zig Zag apologizes to Sabrina, and the two of them make amends and become friends after Zig Zag promises to back off and be more respectful. Zig Zag herself later goes to therapy to work on her aggressive tendencies, as well as her feelings for Sabrina. It doesn't stop Zig Zag from lightly flirting with Sabrina for the rest of the strip, and while Sabrina constantly turns her down, Sabrina privately admits to her mother that [[http://www.sabrina-online.com/strips/SabOnline804.GIF she finds the flirting a little flattering.]]

The DoubleStandard about female-on-female rape is in large part based on the idea that female sexuality does not contribute to "legitimate" sexual intercourse. Because sexual intercourse is defined by penile penetration, lesbian sex can never escalate beyond what a heterosexual couple considers ''foreplay''.[[note]] Foreplay is sexual activity that precedes intercourse, in particular, sexual activity that prepares the vagina for penetration through heightened arousal; without arousal, penetration of the vagina can be difficult and painful, and foreplay is intended to be inherently pleasurable for exactly that reason[[/note]] To put it bluntly: if there's no penis, there can be no sex; if there's no sex, there can be no rape. [[InsaneTrollLogic Therefore, anything a woman does to another woman is "not a big deal"]].

* Very much averted in the MadeForTVMovie ''Born Innocent''. The film’s protagonist, Chris Parker (Linda Blair), a 14-year-old habitual runaway is sent to a girls’ juvenile detention center where she is attacked and raped by a group of girls in the shower room with a toilet brush handle. The scene is portrayed as violent and horrific, with Chris shown lying naked on the floor in tears, visibly traumatized. The assault ultimately starts her transformation into a GoodGirlGoneBad and she becomes just as hardened as the other girls in the center.

** In ''Dragon Destiny'' it was revealed that ShrinkingViolet Ten'i was gang raped at her former school by a sadistic AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse, and they pretty much used this trope to justify their actions. This is only an in-universe case: ''the show itself'' makes it clear that the girls are terrible.

* A bit of a ZigZaggingTrope in ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko''. [[spoiler: Chikane does rape Himeko, yes, and makes a rather dramatic FaceHeelTurn in the process]], but [[SadisticChoice the circumstances]] were [[BecauseDestinySaysSo more than a little contrived]], making for [[BrokenBase ample debate]] on whether or not she should still be held accountable. However, there is a notable lack of repercussions, or even disapproval of her acts in-universe. Less of a DoubleStandard than most examples since a male villain (Miyako's brother Girochi) tries to rape Himeko at one point but is treated no less sympathetically in the end when everything gets set straight again and everyone is given their happy ending. [[GratuitousRape For whatever]] [[RomanticisedAbuse that's worth]]... and yet it's zigzagged ''again'' when [[spoiler: ''Chikane herself is molested and almost raped by Miyako'', but the viewer is NOT supposed to be on Miyako's side, contrasting by how the audience's supposed to root for Chikane despite being a rapist.]]

* In ''Anime/CosplayComplex'', lesbian pedophile Jenny tries to sneak into the bed of the TokenMiniMoe Athena to sleep with her. However she ended up in the bed of Chako's mom, Sachiko who says that she is a lonely widow that is glad to have some company in bed. She then rapes the now reluctant teenager.

** When she happens across Kirie in the 4th episode, she coerces her into the bedroom at gunpoint and shoves her onto the bed. Then strips down to her panties and straddles her. But she's foiled before it goes any further, when one of the spirits [[BlackMagicianGirl Lisa]] realeased charges into the room and tramples her. Which allowed Kirie to escape.

** This is a complicated case. Like, really complicated. It's not a double standard, because what the boys at the academy are doing and what Sora's doing are motivated by different things. Sora's assault is done specifically so she can save a battered, abused girl because there is no other way out for that girl. It's very different than one of the boys molesting their possessions. Molestation itself is portrayed distinctly as a bad thing, and acknowledged as assault by Sora and the girl while discussing it, which is why Sora is able to use it in her attempt to save this girl. She flat-out explains what she's doing to the girl beforehand, so the girl she's molesting knows why this is happening and that Sora wants to save instead of hurt her. The girl is scared when it starts, having not been expecting it, but Sora even says "This is the least painful way of assaulting," meaning she's doing it specifically to try not to hurt her.
** At this point in the story, [[spoiler: Reiko was trapped in a contract with the most insane, violent boy in the school. That boy was under orders never to fight with or release her. She was badly beaten and in the infirmary when Sora found her, and basically begging/challenging Sora to find some way to save her from this boy. Sora took advantage of the rule that if someone's owned girl is being beaten or molested-- aka /hurt or assaulted in any way/-- by someone who isn't their owner and it continues for too long without the owner saving their girl, there will be a severe penalty. She had to hurt Reiko somehow to save her, and Reiko was already badly injured. It's clear that molestation here is bad even though it's a girl doing it to another girl, but Reiko is intelligent and likely knows that Sora has to do this to her to save her,]] and Sora's using it as a more compassionate form of assault than beating an already badly injured girl. At WORST, it's portrayed as better to do than to continue beating the girl and risk possibly permanently breaking her or forcing much more time to recover. It's not a good thing or acceptable because it's a girl doing it, but because there isn't anything else save beating her Sora can do to rescue her from someone much worse. That's why there's no real repercussions for Sora: [[spoiler: Reiko]] knows this happened only as a method of rescuing her and is intelligent enough to know it's for the best.

* ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum'' has the adult [[spoiler:Yuri]]'s attempted rape of [[spoiler:Ringo]], an underage sixteen-year old girl. On one hand, the rape isn't exactly portrayed as ''okay'', and it's made clear that the rapist is a messed-up person. However, the rape is used to develop the rapist's character and segue into the rapist's backstory, which gives off the vibe of rationalizing and excusing her actions, whereas the victim is reduced to a mere prop and has an uncomfortable amount of MaleGaze fanservice applied to her -- which ''may'' have been intended as FanDisservice, but the sheer exploitative nature of it makes the claim fall flat. The details of the rape are inconsistent from one episode to the next, with the rape being portrayed as rape one episode and as a titillating seduction in the next, and whether or not the rapist actually went through with it or not is ambiguous; the rescue attempt is played for comedy, and only happens due to a hideous amount of contrivity. Furthermore, the victim is completely unaffected by the ordeal and the rapist gets off with absolutely no repercussions for her actions, and the whole scene affects practically ''nothing'' in the grand scheme of the story and is quickly forgotten afterwards, save for being the subject of a brief joke a couple of episodes later, wasting a lot of character and story potential on top of everything else; in fact, the scene could be completely cut out of the story with little to no loss. The shoddy handling of the scene really smacks of the writers writing themselves into a corner and hastily retconning the story in an attempt to fix it, and given all the above, it's no surprise that some viewers consider this part of ''Penguindrum'' to be one of the lowest points in the series.

* ''[[Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld El Hazard: The Alternative World]]'': The final episode has the group return to Arlaman so Qwaool could partake in the purification ritual. While they're there, Princess Fatora comes up with a plan to seduce Shayla and the others, by disguising herself and her girlfriend Alliel as bath attendants. It works for the most part, allowing them to completely feel up Shayla and Nanami, while pretending to bathe them.

** The adult [[spoiler:Yurika]]'s attempted rape of the underage [[spoiler:Kureha]], which includes explicit focus on the victim getting sensually stripped of her clothing. While the rapist does get mortally wounded during the attempt, it's not part of a narrative/character-related call-out, merely a way to remove her from the story. The rapist's dying moments are portrayed in a sympathetic light, yet she never shows remorse for her attempted rape, and said dying moments involve her being held by the victim, who never holds any ill will towards her, as well as being spiritually forgiven by the woman she previously murdered. Like the Ginko example before, this incident is quickly forgotten by the story and never brought up again. Furthermore, the sex scene is in fact completely unnecessary, as the scene in question is a symbolic framing of the rapist, as a bear, attempting to eat her victim -- which could've been portrayed as simply that, a bear attempting to eating her prey, rendering the sexuality pointless and a waste of time.

* In ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'', male would-be rapists (and perverts of the ''non''-[[ChivalrousPervert chivalrous]] variety) are arrested, punched in the face, or physically restrained depending on the situation. Suu... isn't, and nobody -- not even her victims -- express more than mild irritation about it. In an ''omake'', Miia explains that the girls don't see it as rape because while Suu ''does'' feel them up until they orgasm, there's no penetration involved.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', Xavin impersonates Nico in the hopes of getting Karolina into bed with them, and almost succeeds in this endeavor before Karolina sees through the disguise. While Karolina rightly calls them out for the deception, no comment is made on the fact that Xavin nearly committed rape by deception.

* Averted in ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'' when an EldritchAbomination takes over Rei's body and rapes Asuka. The event is treated as horrifying, disturbing and psychologically scarring for both girls, and no one thinks it's hot, sexy or whatever.

-->'''Seras''': Well, looks like Human Resources has been... [[DeadlyEuphemism processed]]. I'd feel worse about it if they ever did anything about all the sexual harrassment. Yet you'd think [[spoiler:Alucard]] was the worst offender.

* Averted in ''[[https://a-student-out-of-time.tumblr.com/ A Student Out of Time]]'': [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 Hibiki's]] fears that she have been sexually abused by [[VillainousIncest her own twin sister]] while she was in her [[TraumaInducedAmnesia puppet state]] are treated with complete seriousness and they leave her with deep emotional scars.

* Vince, the DepravedBisexual of ''Film/WhereTheTruthLies'', drugs the film's heroine, reporter Karen O'Connor (Alison Lohman) and then arranges for Alice, an aspiring young singer he's training (and who, yes, dresses like Alice from ''Alice In Wonderland''), to have sex with Karen while Karen is stoned out of her mind and unable to think clearly. When Karen wakes up in the morning, completely naked and humiliated, even more so when Vince shows off the pictures of her drug induced tryst (which he intends to use to blackmail her), Vince has the nerve to insinuate that it was no big deal - he even jokes about how Alice couldn't get her pregnant! The film doesn't really focus on it much in the final half but Karen is clearly not happy about what happened.
* Averting this trope is pretty much the whole point behind the movie ''Film/{{Jaded}}''. The female lead is raped by two women, but legally, same-gender rape is not rape, it's "sodomy." She replies that she doesn't feel sodomized, she feels ''raped.'' Oh, sodomy charges also carry a dramatically reduced sentence compared to rape. Plus there's the whole "not if she liked it" justification, because the main character was skinny-dipping and and making out with the two women, before deciding that being penetrated by a wine bottle and repeatedly slapped across the face was not her idea of a good time. In a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome crowning moment of awesome]], the main character's boyfriend helps demonstrate to her that an enjoyable kiss is ''not'' consent, and that rape starts as soon as you stop enjoying it.

* In the anthology ''Blood Sisters: Lesbian Vampire Tales'' a female character is raped and "turned" by a female vampire. The rape experiences gives her the newfound confidence to pursue her mortal love interest and lead a happier life. Possibly also an example of SexAsRiteOfPassage, except substitute "rape" for "sex".
* ''Literature/KushielsLegacy'' has a complicated version: Phèdre informs the reader that rape is an unforgivable act of treason in their culture. Yet when [[spoiler: Melisande drugs her and commits sex acts that could arguably be rape before selling her into slavery]] this act is never considered rape, despite a cultural understanding that both men and women can be sexually dominant and powerful. Despite the fact that this is not an assignation (which would involve a contract clearly outlining consent) Phèdre does have a safeword which Melisande knows. Phèdre claims that if she’d given the safeword, she believes Melisande would have respected it. Melisande knew damn well Phèdre was [[spoiler: a trained spy, working for her enemy]], and Phèdre says that if she’d given her safeword that would be a kind of surender, and then she probably would’ve told Melisande everything else too. So: drugged, and under ''very'' dubious circumstances, but the safeword was never given so Phèdre doesn’t consider it rape.
* Largely [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in George RR. Martin's ''Literature/AFeastForCrows''. Cersei finally has sex with a female friend that's been fawning over her the entire book (as an act of intrigue). Although consensual at first, Cersei soon starts causing pain to the woman, and being from her point of view the readers can tell she's reenacting the MaritalRapeLicense that Robert had with her. None of this is portrayed as comical or sexy, and is meant to depict Cersei's cruel tendencies as an AssholeVictim. Conversely, a lesbian relationship between Daenerys and one of her handmaidens is cut short because Daenerys realizes that the handmaiden is only participating out of servitude and is not deriving pleasure from the intimacy.

* Subverted in ''Literature/{{Price}}'', where one of villains is a CuteAndPsycho fourteen year old girl. Who is a rapist. And murderer. And, according to herself, probably insane. Details not lost on the other characters.

[[folder:Live Action TV]]

** To be fair though, while she can set the scene up and initiate the make out session, she can't force them into continuing the dream or into carrying things further as evidenced by Cassie realising this was a set up and waking herself up to avoid sleep sexting Thelma.

** Bo, as a succubus, can use her powers to remove a person's ability to consent to sex. In the first season she uses it mostly to get people to tell her things they otherwise won't, but as the series progressed they depicted her using it to overpower unwilling sexual partners, including one scene where she breaks into Evony's place and gets her nearly naked and handcuffed to a bed before taking a photo to use as blackmail.

* A '''very''' downplayed and ultimately subverted example happens in an early episode of ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'', Rebecca is convinced she has some sort of crush on Josh's new girlfriend Valencia, but is really just insanely jealous of her. Near the end the two of them dance and Rebecca abruptly gives Valencia a ForcefulKiss. Valencia [[RealityEnsues immediately takes offense at this and storms off]] complaing about how [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer everyone is always throwing themselves at her.]]

* Averted in ''[[https://a-student-out-of-time.tumblr.com/ A Student Out of Time]]''" [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 Hibiki]] being sexually abused by [[VillainousIncest her twin sister]] Kanade while she was in her [[TraumaInducedAmnesia puppet state]] is treated with complete seriousness and leaves her with emotional scars. She does, of course, find plenty of support from [[VisualNove/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Hajime and his friends]].
