Basic Trope: A negative song about women.
- Straight: Bob writes a song about how All Women Are Lustful.
- Exaggerated:
- Every song Bob writes is like this.
- The song is particularly dark and even glorifies Gendercide.
- The song is about genital mutilation.
- It's not only Bob's musical persona, but Bob himself that holds this ideology.
- Downplayed: An angry breakup song about Bob's ex-wife has sexist stereotypes in it, but is still mostly about a specific person.
- Justified:
- Inverted: Bob writes a Female Empowerment Song.
- Gender Inverted: Alice writes a song about how men suck.
- Subverted:
- The song is about a specific woman in Bob's life, such as his horrible ex, his overbearing mom, his unrequited love interest, etc., not women in general.
- In the bridge of the song, the song is directed specifically at Alice, not the female gender as a whole, and it uses no sexist terms.
- Double Subverted:
- But the last line admits that he told other girls to Stay in the Kitchen to not end up like them.
- Despite the song having no sexist terms, the lyrics still admit that Men Are Better Than Women.
- But Bob just replaces sexist terms with the name "Alice" to describe all women, and later this name becomes a slang term for a narrow-minded woman and it lessens the usage of this name since then.
- Parodied:
- The song is about how women smell funny.
- The song is about Girls Have Cooties
- Zig Zagged: The lyrics are very cryptic and interpretations vary from person to person. Also, in some of Bob's interviews he says it is a sexist song, and in others he denies it.
- Averted:
- Bob doesn't write any sexist songs.
- Bob isn't a musician.
- None of Bob's music has any lyrics of any kind; they're all instrumentals.
- Enforced:
- Bob is being satirical and trying to make a point about the view of women.
- Bob is just sexist.
- Bob originally just wanted to make a Break-Up Song condemning his cheating ex, but the execs insisted he can make it edgier to receive more attention from how horrible the lyrics are.
- Lampshaded: "Warning: this next song may offend some people of the female gender."
- Invoked: Bob's 5-year relationship with Alice ends on a sour note when he catches her in bed with Charles. Crappy relationships tend to be a pattern for Bob.
- Exploited: Bob makes the song to ride the No Such Thing as Bad Publicity wave.
- Defied:
- "Just because I have a bad experience with some women doesn't mean I gonna write the song that blames all women."
- Instead of directly blaming women through his song, Bob invokes Viewer Gender Confusion by using gender-neutral words and pronouns to describe horrible people in his life and/or become an Equal-Opportunity Offender by using terms that are against both men and women.
- Discussed: "Well, that song's totally not sexist."
- Conversed: "Why do we have so many songs talking about why women suck? It's offensive!" "Plenty of songs speak poorly of men, so I guess it's only fair to avoid a Double Standard."
- Deconstructed:
- Bob's profits begin to drop because it as it turns out, the majority of his fans are female and even 'they're'' getting sick of his shit, with all of his songs being really samey in the lyrical department.
- Bob gains the hate of women everywhere.
- Bob goes on to say that condemning fully half of humanity isn't working out too well for him, especially since he's heterosexual.
- Bob does gain a fandom. Either they're far-right incels who use his songs as anthems for their own rampages, self-loathing women who are starved for affection and use his songs to justify their self-loathing or an ironic fandom who see Bob as a joke and deliberately egg on him while trolling him so he'll continue to make more songs.
- During one song, he goes way too far and ends up with so many complaints that the police wind up on his doorstop and arrest him for inciting violence on not only his ex but every woman he believes to have wronged him. This one hit ends up demolishing Bob's reputation completely and he's forced to leave the industry.
- Bob becomes a transgender woman himself, only for his previous songs to come back and haunt him. He's accused of faking his new gender to run away from his old controversies or being transphobic in addition to his misogyny.
- Reconstructed: Bob couldn't care less.
- Bob after being arrested for inciting violence goes to prison. Inspired by his time in the slammer, he creates a new album, attracting a set of new fans and expanding his musical horizons in the process.
- Bob decides to embrace his reputation and makes even more money than he did before, becoming #No.1 in the music industry and all his songs becoming platinum.
- Bob releases his song via limited distributors and gives an age-restrict with caution, so it lessens the fanbase but he receives less backlash either, causing his songs to become Cult Classic.
- Bob realizes that he can rework all his songs as parodies, causing him to be seen as a feminist icon who's done more for women in the music industry than anyone else.
- Played For Drama: The song describes rape and Domestic Abuse from a Crazy Jealous Guy.
