Stalking Is Funny if It Is Female After Male

I recently noticed this trope and I get the impression that some of the examples on Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male might be more fitting to Stalking Is Funny if It Is Female After Male instead; I know some of the examples that used to be on the former turned out to be more fitting to the latter, though I don't quite yet have time to go through all of them.

His question is about which examples need to be moved, not how, I believe.

[up] This, basically. I think which examples should stay on the page, and which should be moved, should be discussed before more specific edits are suggested.

Okay, I looked through the rape double standard page, and the only specific examples for which I'm reasonably familiar with the context of them are the Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince one, South Park one, the Simpsons one and the Family Guy ones except Peterassment. (Which, though I'm familiar with the show, judging by the description doesn't give me much to go on.)

The Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince example seems to be more along the lines of stalking, as the focus is clearly on Remilda's romantic motives, while no directly sexual ones are clearly mentioned. (At least not in the movie, anyway, though I'm not familiar with the book.)

The South Park one and Simpsons one are definitely more along the lines of rape, though.

EDITED IN: Forgot to mention that the Family Guy ones (again, except maybe Peterassment, I'm not familiar with that one) also belong on the rape page. I think it might also be worth noting that Family Guy isn't as pronounced an example of this trope as many others partly because this is the same show that also applies Black Comedy Rape to rape of women by men as well, with the main difference being that those examples don't portray the victim as being in the wrong to turn down sex in the first place. (This scene comes to mind.)
