* Unlike the rest of his male comrades who are enthralled with extravagance of the Midland aristocratic-held ball, [[{{Berserk}} Guts]] doesn't seem very impressed with his surroundings (noblewomen and all) and spends the majority of the time supporting the wall away from the commotion. [[spoiler: In fact, he only went to the ball in order to counterattack in the assassination plot against Griffith.]]

]] Guts also isn't big on reading, so the only chance he'll be picking up one of those sleeping pills is if there is an [[CrowningMomentOfFunny array of pornographic art in it]].

* This trope is also subverted by Angel's parent show, BuffyTheVampireSlayer. Giles is by far the most cultured of the group (with Willow a close second), also being likely the smartest. However, he's also a major badass and loves classic rock.

You've SeenItAMillionTimes, primarily in {{Sit Com}}s: Men absolutely [[AtTheOperaTonight loathe opera, classical music and books]]. But they LOOOOOVE sports.

Never mind that virtually all {{opera}} and classical music - and most literary books - [[MostWritersAreMale were written by men]], those things aren't manly!

* More or less a basic assumption in ''TheHangover'', but the opening shows a jarring dissonance between the immaculately-preened bride preparing in a large and extravagantly decorated mansion, and the groom on the other end of a cellphone, dishevelled and confused somewhere in the desert.

** And then there were ballets like Coppelia, where all the major male roles were played by women, en transvestie. The wealthy patrons, who were overwhelmingly male (The Jockey Club being especially influential), were interested in seeing attractive women on the stage. Eugénie Fiorce, who was considered especially fetching in men's clothes, became famous for these parts.

*** Although one could argue that Cordelia isn't supposed to seem cultured, and more the shallow valley-girl type. A characterisation she grows out of eventually. As for Gunn, this sort of thing was rather common, almost seeming to be an intentional subversion of this trope.

* Subverted in a story in the furry ''Beatrix Farmer'' series. When Beatrix, a cute bunny femme, is moving into her cat friend's apartment, she is surprised when her coquettish friend enlists the aid of several handsome males to help them. Although Beatrix doesn't care for the idea of being suddenly surrounded by strange men apparently being old fashioned chivalrous, things improve when she breaks out her massive book collection and finds to her delight that all the men are even more intrigued with her sophisticated taste in literature and they spend just as much time browsing through her books as they put them away.

Cut to the viewing box at the opera, and everyone is sound asleep and snoring, including Woody ''and'' Diane.

* In ''Repli-Kate'', a journalist who comes to interview two scientists is [[AppliedPhlebotinum accidently cloned]]. The clone is a blank slate, and the lead's wacky friend decides to educate her to prefer football and beer and other blokey things. He ends up as the [[HenpeckedHusband henpecked boyfriend]] to a boorish {{ladette}} who doesn't care about his feelings. (The lead and the real Kate are much happier together.)
