Despite the name, Man Bites Man is not gender-specific.

There are not many examples of women biting each other on the Man Bites Man page. Most are man bites man or woman bites man.

The trope is about using teeth in combat when everything else is unavailable. If you don't see some examples you can just (with full detail) add them.

As Amonimous said, the precise gender or other personal details of the biter are not in themselves relevant for the trope, which is concerned with someone using teeth as a desperate or improvised last-resort weapon. A woman biting a woman (or a boy biting a girl, or a girl biting a man, or an elf biting a dwarf, or whatever) is a perfectly valid example, and if you have such you are free to just add them to the page.

Man here refers to the shortened version of Human, not the man/woman gender. With that, it becomes gender-neutral.
