Chaotic Novelist, the reason I requested a reversion of your previous edit is because there were too many changes to really parse over in discussion. I think there's a lingering misunderstanding about this trope that I'm hoping we can clear up before we discuss any further edits.

WomenAreDelicate was created (with the help of this site's staff) to be the end-all, be-all '''negative''' stereotype for how women are treated. Due to the nature of stereotypes, the trope is infinitely-broad and forever-changing, and some examples of it can be opposite or even contradictory to others. I chose the word

WomenAreDelicate was created (with the help of this site\'s staff) to be the end-all, be-all stereotype for how women are treated. Due to the nature of stereotypes, the trope is infinitely-broad and forever-changing, and some examples of it can be opposite or even contradictory to others. I chose the word \"delicate\" after some discussion with staff because that was the broadest word we could think of to describe the stereotype. It\'s a catch-all for any tropes which assume that women have no power, strength, stability, aggression, reason, moral fortitude, independence, or other forms of \"toughness\". Or, if they do, it\'s less than that of a man\'s.
As I said, some of the stereotypes are contradictory. Thus, the reason bitch tropes (most coming from ThisIndexIsABitch) was added is because although women are stereotyped as being \"passive\", they are also stereotyped as being irrational, petty or cruel. Like I said, that\'s the nature of stereotypes--they don\'t make any sense of follow any consistent logic.
The trope has been expanding as we\'ve discovered more and more ways that it\'s been utilized or downplayed. For instance, I added GoldDigger because it stereotypes women as being either too powerless, dependent, incompetent or lazy to take care of themselves.
In the same sense, MenAreTough is the end-all, be-all \'stereotype towards men. In the case of BedFullOfWomen, the two overlap. It is about a man who is so dominant (tough) that he can pleasure multiple women in a single night. It is a case of a man specifically demonstrating that he\'s tough in a way that\'s at the \"expense\" of women.
