See Trope Renaming Guidelines. We don't rename tropes unless there's something chronically wrong with the examples.

Do you know when threads expire? They reached 50 when I got there.

They 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.

And you'd need to supply more evidence beyond "I think this name is better"

How 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".

Cleanups 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.
