A Depopulation Bomb variant that removes approximately half of the population of the world in one stroke, namely one complete gender. In many stories, there is one survivor of the lost gender — the protagonist, love interest, or MacGuffin of the story. If it is the males who die off (as is most frequently the case), the story will be about how the surviving women rebuild society, or how Fish out of Water males cope with a society that has already been rebuilt. If it is the latter, the Last Man on Earth, our protagonist, may initially think that his life is going to be all orgies and pampering from now on. This is classic Genre Blindness, as stories of this type almost never fit this pattern. The last man will quickly become a target, sought by every woman of power and means in the world, as his sperm may be the key to the survival of the human race. This type of story exists for several reasons. Primarily it's to explore gender politics and behavior, but they also have the secondary benefit of providing an excuse to write literature in which most of the principal characters are female (a major change from a lot of fiction). In addition, classic gender roles, the glass ceiling, and biology being what they are, the death of all men would effectively decapitate most of the world's organizational structure, meaning descent into chaos is likely, especially in stories set before 1970. This collapse (and probable renewal) of society provides an excellent source of conflict for writers to build their plot around. Finally there's Rule 34: being one of the few males alive (fertile or not) gives our protagonist the chance to seduce every woman he sees, which is a popular trope on the horny side of the Web. Some hard-line feminist authors might create this kind of story as a utopian vision, in line with their view that men are the root cause of all the ills of society. Some anti-feminist authors might create exactly the same kind of story to produce a dystopia, to show that women, or just feminists, are the cause of all the ills of society. Still others take the stance that humans are the cause of most human problems, and that if men aren't calling the shots, women will still make the same short-sighted and foolish decisions (at best, all new short-sighted and foolish decisions). The total collapse of society in these cases is not because of some inherent flaw in female leadership, but because three-and-a-half billion people just died all at once, with all the problems that causes. Either way, the dirty secret of these stories is that they're usually there to impart some political message, sometimes subtle and unobjectionable, sometimes not. When all the women die off, in a usually unintentional double standard twist, the story is usually less about politics or gender issues and more about The End of the World as We Know It. These stories almost always take place After the End, in either a cruel dystopia or a chaotic Scavenger World. Either way, the clear implication is usually that without the "calming presence" of women, the men will immediately nuke themselves to hell out of sexual frustration and other "manly" demands. Such a setting is of course highly prone to feature brutal male-on-male rape to add to the Nightmare Fuel, or for other reasons. Note this can happen with the women-left scenario, but much less often and with the rape part nonexistent. The sexist nature of the situation is more complicated still if the men are "fighting over" the remaining women (in which case, there's at least a reason for conflict). It is worth mentioning that a society with a lone survivor of one gender (or a pool smaller than a couple hundred of each) would be doomed to extinction, unless the remaining women make use of the stored sperm in sperm banks, and even that wouldn't last forever. There's wouldn't be the genetic diversity required to survive for more than a handful of generations (and that's once you get over the Squick factor of having to know exactly how related you are before you reproduce). Scenarios that result in a single gender and try to introduce some form of "human parthenogenesis" would succumb to extinction even faster without some kind of applied phlebotinum. As of late, the Sub-Genre has also started getting more scrutiny because any plague that specifically targets XX or XY individuals is going to end in some proportion of trans people getting hit. This can carry its own Unfortunate Implications, ranging from the general genocide of trans men and/or women to the idea that biology ultimately decides gender. Even works that go for a more supernatural answer to the gendercide may sweep up trans women with cis men, or vice versa. The name is a pun on genocide, and was first used by Mary Anne Warren in her 1985 book, Gendercide: The Implications of Sex Selection. See also Gender Rarity Value and Childless Dystopia, both of which this trope is a prime setup for. If all of the members of a gender die off, it may result in a One-Gender Race. Compare Sterility Plague, which can enable similar kinds of plots. Examples |

A slow motion version is going on in the background of Iron Widow. The concubine pilot system chews through (poor) girls at an alarming rate, leaving their neighbors’ sons with nobody to marry, so families sell their daughters to the military as doomed concubine pilots or as wives to the richest men they can snag to buy wives for their sons, removing even more girls from the community and motivating more families to sell their daughters. Every bit of vile misogyny inflicted on the protagonist is designed to keep girls from rebelling against a system that’s mathematically doomed to eat itself alive within a few generations anyway. | |

In ODY-C, a space opera retelling of The Odyssey, Zeus destroyed all men in the universe, and forbade the creation of new ones, for fear that one of them would father a child who would overthrow Zeus the way Zeus overthrew his/her father Cronus. (The Olympians don't bother with restrictive mortal concepts like the gender binary.) As a result, most of the characters are female, including the protagonist Odyssia, or "sebex", a new gender created by the comic's version of Prometheus. In keeping with the trope, and a Greek-Mythology-inspired story about a ruler who takes extreme measures to avoid being overthrown, it's revealed early on that man-kind is not entirely extinct. | |

In the Girls und Panzer fanfic, The Gender War, the ultimate goal of the Union of Feminist Progressive Republics, also known as the Femintern ( the members of which are called "Feminists") is the complete and utter eradication of men. About 40 to 70 million people die in the conflict, and Germany, one of the Femintern members, ends up having to use measures such as polygamy to regain a stable population growth. | |

In Honor Harrington, the planet Grayson has a fairly mild, albeit long-lived, form. Some desperate genetic engineering to save the colonists from a Death World in the backstory results in roughly 2/3 of males being miscarried. This state of affairs continues for almost a millennium until they get access to advanced enough technology to figure out what happened and reverse it. It's a lot less destructive than most other examples, however - they pretty quickly adopt polygamy and move on with life. | |

The manga Ōoku: The Inner Chambers begins with a disease, the Redface Pox, that kills off a large proportion of the male population of Japan during the Edo period (roughly 1 man for every 4 women remains alive). Subsequently, males continue to die of the disease while women take over almost all productive roles in society, including the shogunate. Only the female shogun is wealthy enough to keep a harem (the titular ooku) full of non-productive, pampered men in her care and, like its real-world female historical equivalent, the male harem lives a strictly cloistered life. Later volumes focus on people trying to find a cure for the Redface Pox and make the gender ratio more even before the more powerful foreign nations force Japan to open its country. | |

In the Justice League episode "Fury", an Amazon with a serious bent against the male gender decides to release a disease into the atmosphere that nearly kills off all of the men on the planet. This includes the male members of the Justice League (even Superman and the Martian Manhunter are affected, despite not being human, and Solomon Grundy, who is The Undead. It's implied magic is involved). It's up to Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl to save the day (of course, this includes fighting against an all-female alliance of villains). | |

The Outer Limits (1995): This took place in the past of "Lithia", where the few surviving men were human popsicles. The thawed soldier protagonist proceeded to raise merry hell in the all-female society that sprang up, but it was prevented from being a heavy-handed misandrist Take That! by the fact that, as ham-fisted and ill-advised as the man's attempts to change it were, the new society was utopian only in appearance (i.e. what with the leadership's rampant favoritism in resource allotment and Big Brother-esque control on the information flow). It ended with him being "put down" (refrozen) and the leadership declaring that trying to make men return was ill-advised, and that all efforts to do so would be ceased which is implied was the real reason they thawed him (and the others before him)-they wanted the least suitable test candidates in the most potentially disruptive situation possible to give themselves Plausible Deniability why they stopped as well as "proof" that men were the cause of all of society's previous ills, most probably to maintain their power. Just to twist the knife further, the old woman who put him down was his fiancee, several decades older, and thoroughly convinced of man's evils by a mix of propaganda, his own actions and probably a lifetime of accumulated resentment over numerous issues. | |

Legacy of the Dragokin: This is the goal of the Kthonian Knights; exterminate men because they're all bastards. There is very little in the way of political messages as, in practice, they are indiscriminate in who they kill and who they turn into a monster with The Virus. Also when Daniar convinces Kthonia that women are just as morally flawed as men, the latter decides to kill them both. | |

Possibly the most influential work on this trope, though now almost totally forgotten, Marginal built on the success of Kaze to Ki no Uta to cement the Shounen-ai genre, and was the flagship of a generation of Japanese women writing sci-fi. In it, a disease wiped out all women except one "Holy Mother", from whom all post-catastrophe humans, all male, are born. | |

World's End Harem: The virus killed billions of men, and those who are still alive are the ones who entered cryostasis. Among those, some are infected, and it's believed that they'll die in a year. There are five men who are immune to the virus, two of them were awakened and asked to father as many children as possible. While No.1 is happy about the situation, No.2, the main character, decided to find a cure for the virus and bring back the men currently in stasis. Two women argue about the typical 'Female Utopia' element of this trope. One woman claims that without men, there are no more wars and society is better, while the other argues back that female pleasure has vanished. The Three Sages want to complete the abolition of the male gender, turning humanity into a One-Gender Race reproducing by artificial insemination with no Y chromosomes to get in the way. |

The Guardians of the Universe in the DC Green Lantern series were a one-gender (male) race. The Zamarons, a one-gender female race, were later revealed/retconned as the females of the Guardians' species. Homo guardiensis is, apparently, fairly sexually dimorphic: Guardians are short, pale blue, and physically weak, Zamarons are tall, (usually) dark blue/indigo/violet, and athletic. The split didn't happen because of a bomb, but because the sexes just got tired of putting up with each other (their species is very long-lived and they didn't need to reproduce often). In later issues we see female Guardians who look much like the males, so it's been Re-Ret Conned back to two different species. | |

Aquarion Evol: Altair, once a planet with a functional race of two-gender Human Aliens, experiences a sudden case of this trope when the female birth rate plummeted, then the rest of the female population died out due to a mysterious disease, virtually turning Altair into a Childless Dystopia with Jin Muso, one of the major antagonists, as the Last of His Kind. To remedy this Altair started scouting other dimensions for "Reaiglers", females who are potential candidates to become "Eve", mother of a new generation of Altairians. | |

The Flash-animated series Gotham Girls had a large section of episodes where all men in the city simply vanished and ceased to exist due to some sort of strange mad science. Very fortunately, they were all brought back unharmed by the device as well. There are a few interesting implications of this; the police force loses the majority of its members due to cops being male-dominated, but the violent criminals were even more male-dominated, so there are less people for them to police. There's also a sub-plot about a missing female detective— turns out, she was secretly a transgender woman and vanished along with the men. | |

In Girls Bravo, the alternate dimension of Seiren has a 10/1 female/male ratio. The main character, milquetoast gynophobe Yukinari, gets propositioned by a couple of grade school girls and chased by virtually the entire female population of a city that has very few, or possibly no, men in it before he escapes back to Earth. In the anime, the final Big Bad Yukina Does Not Like Men to the extent that she wants to eliminate the few men that are left. | |

In A Brother's Price, people are not so much sterile as mostly unable to produce male offspring. This results in a world where there is about one boy born for every ten girls. It is never mentioned what lead to this, but it could be a post-apocalyptic setting, with environmental pollution being the cause of frequent stillbirth of male babies. Society adapted to this, and the setting is quite cosy by postapocalyptic standards. There is, however, literal gendercide mentioned in an offhand comment about a family who has thirty daughters (born by ten mothers or so, but only one husband), and only one son, with someone saying that they would probably "litter the land with the dead bodies of female babies if they thought they could get away with it", as it is suspected they keep having babies in the hope for a second son. | |

Played with in Fallout; vault 69 was populated by 999 women and 1 man, likewise Vault 68 was the same, except with 999 men and 1 woman.

In the Werewolf: The Apocalypse "End Times" sourcebook for the original Old World of Darkness run, various methods of having one or more Tribes fall to the Wyrm were given. As one of those Tribes were the Black Furies, naturally, their plot hook involved finally snapping at human misogyny, real and perceived, and rising up en-masse to massacre human males with the intent of reducing them to a small minority and thus allowing women to become the socially dominant sex. | |

Pretty much the premise of Oceanside in The Walking Dead (2010). The Saviors rounded up every man and boy over the age of 10 and then executed them. It isn't until the season 8 episode "Worth" that we find out it was all the work of Simon and not Negan. | |

Consider Her Ways features a world in which men have been killed off by a virus, where women have discovered a way to reproduce without them, but this involves a whole caste of women whose sole duty is to squeeze out daughter after daughter for the rest of their lives all the while being fattened up for the child's health (several years ago it was believed a woman needed to put on a lot of weight to ensure a healthy birth, rather than the opposite we know today). The protagonist is a woman from our world who "travels" there while under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug and finds herself in the body of one of these birthers. It's All Just a Dream... or is it? | |

In an episode of Sliders, the group arrived on a world where an engineered virus wiped out most of the male population (as Arturo points out, statistically there will always be a small segment of the target group which will be naturally immune). The survivors are kept in isolation at a secure sperm-bank facility. Australia had become a world power due to its isolation and distance from the initial release area limiting the effect of the virus on its population. | |

A particularly odd example in Saber Marionette J. After a colony ship in the distant future is destroyed, only a handful of all-male survivors escape. They manage to populate their new world with cloning technology which cannot produce female clones, for unexplored reasons. The usual gender stereotype tropes are largely averted, however; the resulting societies are largely Earth-like both in mannerisms and stability. It is vaguely implied that homosexuality is considered completely normal and that the populace is more sexually frustrated than usual, but no other outstanding consequences are shown. | |

Used on a smaller scale (with, of course, the exceptions of the love interest and the plucky teenage girl) during the latter half of 28 Days Later. With a dubious twist- the only reason men outnumber women in post-quarantine England is that the majority of the survivors were soldiers holed up in a manor house in the countryside as a makeshift headquarters. The Virus has identical effects on women and men; the men just have bigger guns. The end result of the soldiers' nine-man society at first looks hardly dystopian — apart from the blood spewing pseudo-zombies and the general feeling of depression — up until the last women in England showed up, at which point they practically all turned into crazy rapists, presumably because they were convinced they were the last humans alive on Earth and the whole set-up was designed specifically to attract women so that they could alleviate this sense of despairing hopelessness by 'rebuilding the species.' | |

An alien example in the backstory of the Arume of Blue Drop. Once again it's the men who died out. The women solved things by giving themselves some male genes so that women could reproduce using machines to facilitate the process; it was only a stopgap measure and wouldn't keep them going forever. They made a smashing attempt to go get the last male Arume genes from human males on Earth (there were apparently some Ancient Astronauts a while back who got... busy). They chickened out in the end, though, having become too used to the new status quo, and took our women instead. | |

The world of The Power sees women spontaneously gain the ability to create electrical discharges from their hands during puberty, similar to electric eels. As soon as this begins to destabilize some of the most repressive countries in the world (namely Saudi Arabia and Moldova), Men's Rights groups on the internet start insisting that this is inevitable. It takes about a decade, but they're right. | |

In the Doctor Who episode "The Vampires of Venice", the Saturnynians had their home planet destroyed by the Cracks. With one exception, only the males survived the journey to Earth. They tried to survive by turning human women into their own species, but the Doctor intervened. The matriarch gives him a What the Hell, Hero? before committing suicide. Fortunately, the Doctor later pulls a Reset Button on reality, meaning the Cracks never existed and the Gendercide of the Saturnynians never happened. | |

Dying of the Light: It's theorized (and nothing is shown to contradict it) that this happened to High Kavalaan a long time ago, having massive effects on Kavalar society. The grieving widowers started to join into pairings called teyns, while women eventually became community breeders, kept in the securest parts of caves to avoid the plague. After a few generations, it congealed into a rather misogynistic society. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has a variant where a female villain develops a way to turn boys into girls and launches a war between the genders. This combined with her tyrannical rule creates a Bad Future where only a few boys remain, led by an aged Numbuh 4. Numbuh 3's Identical Granddaughter winds up teaming up with the boys to prevent it all via Time Travel. One actually does have to wonder how exactly the villain got to her age (she's very old) without finding out that her actions would cause humanity's extinction without men, though it's a children's cartoon so the writers can be forgiven. The weapon does also affect girls, primarily tomboys (Numbuh 5 becomes ultra-girly in the Bad Future timeline). |

Implied after the end of Dr. Strangelove. With the nuclear holocaust imminent, Government leaders plan to hole up in mineshaft shelters with 10 women for every man. Gen. Buck Turgidson is very excited at this prospect, provided the US doesn't suffer a "mineshaft gap". When you think about it they seem to be suggesting a pretty squicky prospect where every man will have ten sex slaves (beauty was mentioned as the main criteria), and women have little function other than breeding. It would be interesting to see what would happen after the women realized their odds would be ten to one. | |

Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale plays with a variant of this, in which 95% of all women were rendered sterile by a plague. This leads—in America at least—to a rigid theocracy which virtually enslaves the few remaining fertile women. The men are also frequently sterile but the theocracy insists that failure to produce children is the fault of women. This leads to handmaids trying to secretly conceive children by fertile men to prevent themselves being declared barren and sent to the work camps. | |

Like the comic book, Y: The Last Man (2021) addresses the gendercide but updates details for a more contemporary sense of gender and trans issues. Although XY men are primarily targeted, Dr. Mann points out that a fair number of AFAB women with androgen insensitivity died when the event happened. The series also introduces Sam, a trans man who works alongside Hero as a paramedic. While he's spared, he ends up worrying about both acquiring testosterone and Hero being slowly won over by the misandric, softly transphobic Amazons. | |

LISA takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where an event only ever referred to as "The Great White Flash" has wiped out all but one woman. Civilization has completely collapsed and the surviving population has become suicidal or homicidal. It is implied that women still survive, but outside of the world the game is set in. | |

The N64 game BattleTanx starts when a virus kills 99.9% of the women in Earth; the remaining ladies are promoted to living goddesses, the countries start fighting for other quarantine zones, and they finally engage in nuclear war. The protagonist Griffin Spade, who lives in New York, has his fiancée taken away by the government, so he seizes an M1 Abrams tank and sets out to travel across the USA to find her. In the sequel, it's revealed that an insane psychic named Cassandra created the plague, killing all women except those capable of Psychic Powers. | |

Played with in the Luna Brothers' series Girls. The titular aliens start out seeming to express this as they attack every human woman they see. Later on, however, they attack men who cannot or refuse to have sex with them, and the townspeople figure out they're only interested in human males for reproduction, not sex. At the same time, the confusion and fear created by them and the barrier that appears around the town results in the women and men separating into mutually hostile camps. | |

Sovereign: The ultimate goal of Graywytch, who attempts to use a spell to kill everyone on Earth with a Y chromosome (not just cis men). Millions are killed, but complete extermination is averted. (Ironically, Graywytch herself almost falls to her own spell; Danny speculates she was unknowingly intersex.) | |

In Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Wonder Woman of the Bad Future's primary motivation is killing all men, everywhere, because Aquaman rejected her. | |

The Yuri Hime serial, Love Gene XX involves humanity contracting an epidemic that causes no males to be born. After the last man dies off, the governments start enforcing a rigid new gender system on the leftover females splitting them into "Adams" and "Eves". Though to be precise, it's not so much a new gender system as the same old one but assigned at complete random. In the XY bonus chapter, we see that they have no gender assignments and the men of one class can easily attend the school of the other — but they experience arguably worse class distinctions, such as one being seen as okay to sexually abuse. | |

Left 4 Dead. Mentioned swiftly in a quote by Zoey where she sounds, not so surprisingly, less than happy. There are, of course, many fandom plays on this, including a comic where Zoey has to go from killing Infected to killing men when the Survivors make it to the safe zone. Of course, when applying Fridge Logic, one can realize she isn't the last woman on earth, as we have not only Rochelle, but Amanda Slater, the boat man's wife, but still the joke continues. | |

Hell Comes to Frogtown, in which "Rowdy" Roddy Piper plays Sam Hell, one of the last fertile men on Earth (and is thus in high demand). Along with Sandahl Bergman doing a sexy dance and a man-sized frog with a three-headed penis! Who utters the classic line after Bergman's dance: "You have aroused the three-headed snake!". | |
