* ''Manga/BakiTheGrappler''. Pick a male character, ''any'' male character. If you use a dirty trick to slice off his hand, he might just smile, crack a joke, and then punch you in the face ''with the bone in his stump!'' That's fairly typical, and not even going near the territory of a monster like Yujiro. If the idea of permanent crippling injury gives you pause, then you have ''no'' business being in the ring with these fighters. Yujiro himself is a literal example since his testosterone levels are stated to be so high he considers everyone around him to be a woman regardless of gender and will rape them both equally.

* ''Series/GenV'': Jordan ''wants'' to embrace their gender, which is both female and male. However, they clearly struggle with some internalized toxic masculinity. They seem to think that being seen as a man will make others take them more seriously (which probably isn't wrong -- Brink certainly treats them more seriously when they're in male form). Marie even calls them out for this in Episode 7, telling them they should stop "turning into a dude just to make a point to us."

The patriarchy is compared more to a virus, specifically a foreign antibody that Barbieland's matriarchy was not built to expect or defend against. Beach Ken, however, finds himself still unsatisfied with this, since his problem was his relationship with Barbie rather than his lack of power, and he finds himself loathing the patriarchy by the time the Barbies manage to undo it.]]
