Imagine you have a magical artifact of unimaginable power. Depending on the story, this artifact could trigger a transformation sequence, give the wielder superpowers, or simply act as a weapon. The catch? This artifact can only be used by a girl. It is often used in the Harem Genre in Japan's pop-culture (mainly to justify a World of Action Girls-setting). The main character is usually the The One Guy. Often results in Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality where men get the short end of the stick. Subtrope of Gender-Restricted Ability. See Virgin Power when the requirement to use the powers is not being female so much as being chaste. See also Barrier Maiden. If a transgender woman finds that the power works for her just as well as it would for a cisgender woman, she is a Supernaturally-Validated Trans Person. See Stay in the Kitchen for when Action Girls are told to stay away from combat. For devices literally powered by a little girl as battery see Powered by a Forsaken Child. Examples |

The Xbox 360 version of Rumble Roses appears to be this even though the game doesn't have a story. It's an all-female wrestling competition that also features mud-fights and photoshoots, and everything is devoted to Fanservice. | |

All Pegasus Knights in the Fire Emblem games are female; this is because the pegasi themselves won't allow men to pilot them. Wyverns, on the other hand, don't appear to be so picky, as there are Wyvern Riders of both sexes throughout the series. The fourteenth game, Fire Emblem Fates, finally averts this. Since Fates is the start of a new continuity, this is explained as Hoshidan pegasi being more accepting of male riders than Archanaean/Jugdrali/Elibean/Magvellian/Tellian pegasi. |

Played mostly for laughs in Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki. Only girls can be Valkyries, so when Hermod transforms Yuuki, in addition to receiving the intended mantle of power he also becomes a girl. And stays that way. | |

The priestesses of the Fushigi Yuugi stories are, as the name implies, all female, for no other reason than the four gods just aren't into guys. Most of the Seishi are men, however. | |

The titular Infinite Stratos combat exoskeletons are only usable by women, with the sole exception of the main male protagonist. Apparently according to the inventor, this wasn't intentional, but she won't care to fix this, nor find out why the main character can use it despite his gender. | |

My-HiME and My-Otome, only a girl (and in My-Otome, a virgin) can have a CHILD. This doesn't stop Yuuichi from trying to help out, nor Mashiro (in the Manga, where she is really a he) pulling a CMOA in the end. | |

Age is another odd thing. Young girls like Suite Pretty Cure ♪'s Ako and Doki Doki! PreCure's Aguri are able to transform and older teenagers like HeartCatch Pretty Cure!'s Yuri and KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode's Akira are shown being able to transform, but anyone older tends to flip flop as the post-series novels for Fresh and Smile have shown the girls transforming ten years later, yet an adult chosen to be a Cure in HappinessCharge Pretty Cure! can't get her stone to create a PreChan Mirror | |

Questionably present in Gunslinger Girl. It's explained that only children can be turned into cyborgs, and never explicitly stated that they have to be girls, but we never see any sign of a male cyborg. | |

Strike Witches is a subversion as non magic powered weapons can damage the Neuroi, but because it takes longer and more ammo to kill them, Witches are needed to quickly finish them off. | |

The Darkness has both an inversion and an example, only men can be hosts to the demonic power of the Darkness, and only women can be possessed by the Angelus the natural enemy of the Darkness. Also, Sara Pezzini, the host of the above Witchblade has appeared in crossovers. | |

Both Fresh Pretty Cure! and Smile PreCure! had a "Freaky Friday" Flip episode which had a Cure swap minds with their fairy partner. While the Fresh episode allowed Tarte-in-Inori's-body to transform into Cure Pine just fine despite Tarte being male, the Smile episode forced Miyuki-in-Candy's-body to transform into Cure Happy despite both being girls. | |

Valkyria Chronicles has the Valkyria, who seem to be a race of only women. Men don't even bother picking up Ragnite lances as weapons. Then came the Valkyrie power armors which evened out the playing field, as well as other projects which gave them One-Winged Angel forms, at the cost of their sanity. |

The titular Witchblade can only be wielded by women, and has been by several famous warrior females throughout history like Jeanne d'Arc. Also it strips off all your clothes and leaves you wearing skimpy armor... we wonder why. | |

In Sailor Moon, only girls can be Sailor Senshi, end of story. Tuxedo Kamen is the closest the series has to a male Sailor and represents Earth in the lineup, but his power comes from the Golden Crystal, the counterpart to the Silver Crystal, not a Sailor Crystal like the rest of the Senshi. This is what justifies the idea of Sailor Earth. | |
