guess the trope/possible rename necessary: Closer To Earth

From the description and examples, this trope is all about women in fiction being morally superior to men, but this is potholed on the Wiki to describe almost any form of Positive Discrimination, or to show "Character X is morally superior to Character Y" even when there's no basis on gender/race/religion/etc., or simply a trait of a "down to Earth" character. If this is a real problem I think we should rename the trope to show it's about Alice being a more moral, smarter and wiser human being than Bob, who often gets in trouble due to his impulsive, boorish nature. The redirect of Women Are Closer To Earth should do the trick.

Yeah, people have been misusing this forever. Switching it with the redirect sounds good to me.

No chance. This is a term that has been in use since the second day we were open, and the usage stats are off the scale.
