Wouldn't it be a better idea to just make an index about Sexist Tropes?
Fight smart, not fair.

In theory, but that sounds like a major can of worms situation.

Going through the Double Standard page, I note that a lot of the Tropes mentioned are a little too lined up with the subtitles and not the point of the thread.
Double Standard is not about sexist tropes, but tropes where the sexism and/or appropriateness is seemingly determined by the gender of the person it happens to/who does it. Many of the tropes described in "Sexist against Men" or "Sexist against Women" are only that. Case in Point: Buxom Is Better. Not getting into whether or no it's sexist at all, the fact remains that a well-endowed man is held up just as much, if not as often due to the fact that it can't be shown off without coming off as obscene. Therefore, it doesn't count as an actual Double Standard.
Though if this happens, there should probably be a split of sorts, a separate article about Sexist Tropes.
