* In ''Film/BlackWidow2021'', BigBad loathsome bastard Dreykov is an extremely vile and unjustified example of this. As head of the Black Widow Program, he’s abused hundreds of women from early ages to turn them into assassins, cut out their ovaries to prevent them from giving birth and is strongly implied to have done [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil worse things to them]]. In the climax, Dreykov takes his time smacking around Natasha knowing she is unable to fight back due to a nasal pheromone preventing her from attacking him. Although this is part of what induces his VillainousBreakdown, as Nat MadeOfIron laughs while Dreykov hits her, mocking how pathetic he is which destroys his composure and makes him reveal his plan.
-->'''Natasha:''' What? Come on you think I can’t take a punch?\\
''[Dreykov slugs her again]''\\
'''Natasha:''' Goddamn it, you are weak!\\
'''Dreykov:''' ''Weak?''\\
'''Natasha:''' I bet it's easier to be tough in front of defenseless little girls, huh?



* Bit of a zigzag in Czechoslovak fairytale ''Film/FrauHolle'', after the same-named Grimm fairytale. After our hero has worked for Frau Holle in heaven, he can see Aunt Scythe, AKA Death. She's portrayed as a killer with evil plans of her own, and when she's after the life of his princess, she gets a good beating from him. She turns into a young girl (which is a standard Slavic image of Death, which is female there) to save her skin, correctly assuming he wouldn't hit a sexy ''young'' girl. It works but he breaks her scythe over his knee. And they lived happily ever after.

* ''Film/Deadpool2016'':
** While on the hunt for Ajax, Deadpool tracks down and assaults two women, wondering aloud whether ''not'' hitting them would be more sexist after one tried to attack him. He does so, while ''clearly preparing to shoot them at point blank''.
** Colossus doesn't hesitate fighting Angel Dust once she shows that she's as strong as he is. Amusingly though, Colossus remains a gentleman in spite of hitting her; when one of Angel Dusts' breasts comes out of her shirt he stops the fight so she can fix it, even covering his eyes.
