Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
See Trope Renaming Guidelines. We don't rename tropes unless there's something chronically wrong with the examples.
Edited by Amonimus TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupThey don't. To open a slot the cleanup in one of them should be complete, then the next one in TRS Queue takes it place.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallHow long does a cleanup usually take?
My proposal besides the name sounding better would be the trope getting mostly explained just like Women Are Wiser only the other way around, and it is alliterative in the same way. Bob's Burgers would likely be the first example to be added if it were to be.
We don't need to do cleanup or TRS action unless you can show that there is an actual issue with the trope. Not liking the name isn't a big enough issue.
Your suggestion has a few problems as well. For one, the trope isn't about men being "more mature", it's for men being in some or all ways better than women. Keep in mind, tropes are not endorsements of ideals, they are merely narrative devices as presented in their respective works. As explained by the trope page, Men Are Better Than Women is primarily found in older works, and exists almost entirely as a Discredited Trope nowadays.
Also, minor point but "Maturer" isn't a word. It's "more mature".
regulation pigeonCleanups last until they are done. How fast they are cleaned up depends on how many people are doing the cleanup.
In any case, Ask The Tropers isn't the place for this and the OP were was already informed above about Trope Renaming Guidelines. Locking.

I wish to propose to the admins or trope makers to change the name of “Men Are Better Than Women” to something like “Men Are Maturer”.
It would make more sense and be a closer match to “Women Are Wiser” which is what it’s supposed to be. Men Are Better Than Women sounds sexist and black-and-white, unlike Women Are Wiser which is put into perspective and is not so brutal as the latter. Sure, smart men are not accepted as much as smart women in media or even real life cause of the number of men in the industry, but we know Tropes Are Tools, so it shouldn't matter but a name change would make it less hurtful, and remove its controversy.
If they make a change like this it would make way for more examples cause it would state the trope’s actual purpose, which was to be a harmless Gender Flip of Women Are Wiser. I noticed they're on a dewick spree and making some tropes less old-fashioned-sounding. Such as by calling it Slapstick and not labeling the gender of the target, so perhaps they should add this to their list.
Is there any way to propose this change? Yes Tropes Are Not Bad, but this situation can be better.
