Whatever the reality of gender, the fact is that it has a lot of baggage tied to it, physical and cultural. It comes with expectations. And this trope is about people who defy stereotypes. Or who live up to them. Or who don't, but the person thinks they did. Or maybe someone just needs an insult and something about gender is handy. Insulting your gender is easily as handy as insulting Your Mom. This can be expressed in multiple ways (this is not an exhaustive list): Insulting a person for not conforming to their gender (e.g. "You like clothes? That's a girl thing.") Insulting a person for conforming to their gender (perhaps Stop Being Stereotypical, perhaps just "How like a man to resort to violence.") Calling a person the wrong gender as an insult (see also "It" Is Dehumanizing) It's incredibly common for the Heteronormative Crusader and Drill Sergeant Nasty to throw these out as a matter of course. You can also expect to hear them from the He-Man Woman Hater and Straw Misogynist, and for that matter someone who Does Not Like Men and Straw Feminist. This is related to Acceptable Feminine Goals and Traits and its non-existent Spear Counterpart. It also finds itself crossing not just gender, but sexuality (accusations of homosexuality), and can be particularly hurtful to Transgender people (purposely misgendering someone). It's been observed that the majority of gendered insults are specifically derogatory to women or femininity (think "bitch", "sissy", "whore", etc.), which probably reflects a societal Double Standard — though on the flip side, characterising a woman as overly masculine is also a common form of insult. Insult of Endearment and Appropriated Appellation may apply if a same-gender group of friends starts using such an insult for each other; it's not uncommon for a group of female friends to affectionately call each other "bitches", for example, or a coach to rally his team by saying "All right, ladies..." Supertrope to Country Matters and This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!. |

The Realm of the Elderlings does this deliberately to invoke setting, when it shows up. The first and third trilogies take place in the fairly egalitarian society of the Six Duchies, in which gender roles are more fluid; women can be warriors and no one gives it a second thought. The second and fourth trilogies take place in the far more gendered society of Bingtown; Althea is repeatedly attacked for being masculine in the second trilogy, and Sedric is too feminine in the fourth. | |

One of the girls stuck at the retraining camp in But I'm a Cheerleader eventually blows up in protest; she's not gay, she likes boys!

Bones: The title character occasionally gets attacked for not being "a girl", meaning when she doesn't act like a gentle, supportive, June Cleaver type. One episode sees an agent very upset to learn that a case he'd been working for thirty years had gotten a plea deal behind his back, and was called a little girl for complaining about it. 9 years for the death of a cop, thirty years of work, and he gets called a little girl for being unhappy. |

Dua's species The Gods Themselves have Bizarre Alien Sexes with rather rigid gender roles. Dua has been shunned for not conforming to those roles as a child - other Emotionals used to call her "Left-Em". Nowadays, being in a loving partnership with successful and glamorous Odeen, she doesn't need to worry about that. She's still quite a non-conformist. | |

A common sight in the Tortall Universe, because one of the main themes is sexism and misogyny. Most prevalent in the Protector of the Small quartet, though. The heroine, Kel, is the first known female to try for knighthood in a century (the only other Lady Knight disguised herself as a boy). Among the various insults thrown at Kel: girls are not as strong, girls are too emotional, etc. | |

On Mystery Science Theater 3000, the host and the bots frequently call each other "femme", implying an activity is unmanly. This happens more frequently in the episodes in which Mike is the host, and it comes off as rather childish (Mike and the bots tend to be very immature). | |

The West Wing: When Sam one-ups Lionel Tribbey in an argument about Gilbert and Sullivan by asking if Tribbey was the recording secretary of his university's G&S society, Tribbey's response is "No, but then again I'm not a woman." When Sam is out-debated by Ainsley Hayes on a Sunday morning show, the other senior staffers are particularly entertained that he was "beaten by a girl." One female government staffer isn't pleased with Sam criticizing a piece of language by saying "it sounds like a high school girl wrote it" and wants to know why he thinks a girl's writing would be any more amateurish than a high school boy's. He gets defensive and then reiterates that "it sounds like a girl to me" when the meeting is over. |

Due to the way the lionlike hani's gender roles play out in the Chanur Novels, sons are expected to be nothing but trouble for their parents. Hani women use "son" as an insult and "gods give you sons" as a curse, which gets awkward when a male becomes part of a foul-mouthed and female-dominated spacer crew and they have to think about who they're actually insulting. | |

Also throughout the series, Double D is seen having loofah sponges in his possession; again, in one episode, Eddy remarks, "You actually use one of those things?" In "Quick Shot Ed", the Eds act like nature photographers while taking pictures of other cul-de-sac kids for a calendar; while observing Jimmy playing with dolls with Sarah, Double D offers this explanation: "Sometimes animals get confused, and adapt to another animal's habits." |

Friends: One early episode focused on how everyone thought Chandler was gay when they met him, and it became a running gag. He was metrosexual before it was really a thing, complimented the women's clothes, and preferred to watch the parade rather than the game on Thanksgiving. Ross, on the other hand, wore soft clothing (tweeds, sweaters) in pastel colors (actor David Schwimmer's preference), though he tried to dissemble by calling a shirt "salmon" rather than "pink". A number of jokes revolved around his lack of manliness. |

Cobra Kai: Johnny Lawrence has no problem deliberately addressing guys with terminology that refers to the opposite sex, to the point that "pussy" is basically his students' catchphrase. His students themselves also use said insults to antagonize their detractors. Johnny unleashes a tirade of these during his first training session with Miguel, when teaching him about the philosophy Cobra Kai subscribes to. Johnny mockingly addresses Daniel as "Danielle" while test driving a Dodge Challenger. Hawk calls Chris, who is in the middle of a shift at Golf 'n Stuff, a "good girl" when he demands a bobblehead from the prize counter. |
