* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', this is one of the many reasons that the Danvers family is so dysfunctional. Carol (the daughter) is a sporty, assertive, tomboy. Her mother, Marie, on the other hand, seems to be a typical housewife who puts up with her husband's emotionally abusive attitude with little complaint, never explaining to her daughter ''why''. [[note]] The short version: she RefusedTheCall despite her mother's urging, [[ShellShockedVeteran seeing what it did to her mother and her little brother]], and is terrified of Carol embracing it. [[/note]] Once this is explained, Marie's HiddenDepths are revealed (Harry picks up on them almost immediately), and she resolves to put aside her fears and be proud of her "scrappy little warrior maiden", and the two get on much better. She also effectively kicks her husband to the curb once she discovers how far he was ''really'' willing to go to make Carol more traditionally feminine ([[spoiler:get Harry to MindRape her. Harry reacts badly to this suggestion]]). He's still technically around, but only on temporary visits, [[KickedUpstairs having had a promotion out of state arranged for him]], never left alone with his children, with the implication that a divorce is on the cards -- and this punishment is indicated to be ''significantly'' milder than what [[MamaBear Marie]] would have come up with if she'd found out about what had happened directly, rather than from her own mother.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'', [[GenkiGirl spunky]], [[EarthyBarefootCharacter outdoorsy]] Rapunzel can sometimes be at odds with her demure, ProperLady mother.

* Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/TwelveForever'' with Regina and her mother. Though her mother is not particularly feminine, she still seems to get annoyed that Reggie doesn't seem willing to wear nice dresses, and is confused as to why she doesn't want to embrace typical teen girl things.
