* AllMenArePerverts: Can't tell what's worse, the fact that the media makes it seem like all men NEED to be perverted in order to be considered worthy of having their existence acknowledged by women or the fact that it makes men look like they have about as much depth as a piece of paper.
* ChainmailBikini: I could think of so many ways to exploit the obvious flaws of that pathetic excuse perverted men (and yes even women) call "armor."
* DoubleStandard: Most of them are fallacious and otherwise useless in reality.
* HumanAliens: Horribly unoriginal under most cases unless they happen to be humans that lived on another planet that just call themselves another name due to a different language.
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: As a person who believes that all humans male or female are created equal, this trope offends me deeply.
* SexEqualsLove: Ever heard of a rapist?

Disregard that statement above, for it is only partially accurate and allow me to shed some light on the subject. I'm assuming that you the reader must have stumbled onto this link by accident and certainly weren't actually curious enough to try and intentionally know more about me. I'm a fairly new troper (for the moment), although I've been around this site longer than what my statistics will tell you. Most of my intentions are currently...not at liberty to be said, however I can inform you that I have been given...the necessary privileges by my...employers to provide...useful information in regards to my favorite works of popular/unpopular fiction. I also have a tendency to give a helping hand to those pages that are...less than satisfactory in terms of grammatical accuracy.
