No Woman's Land	comment	A No Woman's Land is a misogynist hell. Women are forced to marry, either by direct violence or by intentionally induced poverty, and every husband is a lazy cheating bastard who is allowed to beat his wife to a bloody pulp and can sell his daughters to the highest bidder with impunity; blink the wrong way and you get burned as a witch; take a step out the door and you'll get raped on the spot; and every other girl is a prostitute and/or Sex Slave. It's a Crapsack World if you're a woman. This is commonly used as to depict either a specific nation or region or just "the other place with people who are different from us and therefore inferior", the Straw Misogynist trope applied on a wider scope. While the Islamic world is one of the most frequent receivers of this stereotype, India, Mayincatec societies,note Which is more or less true, only that Spain and other European countries that colonized the Americas weren't terribly egalitarian at the time either. In fact, before the rise of ritual militarism in Mesoamerica left their women with fewer possibilities of gaining social prestige, those cultures—like various other Pre-Columbian Civilizations—might have qualified as actually less patriarchal than old Christian Europe. Southeast Asia, the whole African continent, and sometimes even developed Asian countries like Japan and South Korea don't get off well either (along with the implication that only westerners that can save them). Asian movies have been known to depict Western nations this way, as well. Historical and period settings, especially those set in medieval and ancient societies, or barbarian settings, will also invoke this, as well as future dystopic settings, all to symbolize something backward, evil, regressive, and far from normality as possible. Violence and oppression towards women is a handy, instant, visceral visual shorthand to communicate to an audience and economically conveys a lot about a particular setting. Of course, used the wrong way, it can be accused of Romanticized Abuse and such elements (especially in B Movies, and dodgy romance novels like The Sheik, which are marketed explicitly on exploitative appeal) or, especially if contrasted with a Lady Land, misandry (men as a whole are depicted as hateful, evil creatures in contrast with pure, innocent women who would run the world as a Utopia if they were in charge). If a fictional society is portrayed this way by another fictional society in the same universe, but it isn't actually true, then it's Fantastic Racism. Saying that your enemies abuse their women is an Abomination Accusation Attack, and pretty much the oldest racial slur out there. Generally speaking, there is no particular reason given for why the place is like this. The creator usually expects the audience to assume that this is what all (human) societies would look like if not for modern governments (with the Unfortunate Implication that only the government stands between women and naturally violent men: in reality, governments are often part of the problem). It is worth remembering that, like any other cultural practice, misogyny becomes a thing for certain reasons. Those reasons dictate what type of misogyny will be present in a given culture, and how brutally it will be enforced. While the inhabitants of this society probably have no idea why they do this other than Appeal to Tradition, outsiders can either speculate or may in fact know the reasons why this society operates this way: or might be able to glean clues from the setting itself. Related to Damsel in Distress. Compare Medieval Morons, which sees people of another time as essentially cruel and stupid. Contrast Lady Land, the matriarchal counterpart which is far more likely to be depicted positively. See also The Women Are Safe with Us, another form of contrasting the treatment of women to depict one group as more moral. Unrelated to the "No Man's Land" of trench warfare. Remember that real-life examples would be very controversial, and are therefore forbidden. While most societies throughout history have discriminated against women to some extent, this trope is for fictional portrayals that are virulently misogynistic even by the standards of their respective time periods.

No Woman's Land / int_11282746	comment	Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War is strongly implied to be this as the Victorians are harshly opposed to feminism and hostile to the idea of women working and particularly in the military, in favor of minding their 'sphere' of the home. When the Victorians defeat the armies of Lady Land Azania, those who do not become good housewives are sold into slavery in the Middle East to "experience real patriarchal oppression." Not to mention the novel begins and ends with a woman being burned at the stake for claiming to be a Christian bishop. Note that the narrative portrays all of this positively.

No Woman's Land / int_14504d82	comment	This turns out to be the case in at least one of the Puritan Territories called Sybion in Collar 6, Laura's homeland. Because of a severe gender imbalance, women are required to submit to men sexually in the hopes of conceiving a male child, and women are ranked by their fertility. The main setting consists of characters in consensual BDSM relationships as contrast, with the exception of one villain who explicitly uses force on her slaves.

No Woman's Land / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age plays with this trope in a setting where generally Gender Is No Object: The Tevinter Imperium has this reputation across Thedas because unlike other countries influenced by the Chantry (which is controlled by an always female Divine), Tevinter has its own Chantry where the Divine is always male. In addition, many tales are spread about how women from non-Tevinter countries are kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery. While this is true, they do it to everyone else regardless of gender. Also female magisters are just as common (and as wicked) as their male counterparts and with the exception of becoming Divine, no office is barred from them - just like men are barred from being Divines in Southern Thedas. Played with the Qunari. They have very strict gender roles that bar women from fighting (which sticks out in a World of Action Girls) and they are relegated to spiritual or teacher roles. Having said that, they aren't necessarily considered lesser (nor are men considered better) but play a very integral role in their society. Even then, the Qunari find the concept of female warriors so unusual that they view them as male instead.

No Woman's Land / int_1e9205c1	comment	In general, most societies in the universe are patriarchal — outside of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood — with women exposed to socially sanctioned subordination and violence; but the worst by far are the Tleilaxu, who lobotomize all their female children and use genetic and biological engineering to convert them into giant, bloated, brainless uterus-machines used for organ regeneration and cloning. The Bene Tleilax are also viciously xenophobic and jingoistic about their racial superiority, justified in part by their misogynistic theology, as they despise other cultures—and in particular the Bene Gesserit—which do not subjugate their women as totally or as absolutely as the Tleilaxu do.

Cardassian women typically aren't allowed to serve as active duty military or other similarly dangerous jobs after marriage, and infertile women typically have the marriage annulled and are outcast (as happens to Corat Damar's fiancee Veja Ketan in Night of the Wolves). However, Malyn Ocett, a gulnote Cardassian rank equivalent to captain or rear admiral as of Star Trek: The Next Generation, actually joined the military because she was barren (and thus poor marriage material), and Cardassians view women as being superior to men at science and engineering occupations.

No Woman's Land / int_2372359	comment	Subverted in The Belgariad. Garion initially reacts poorly on finding out that Nadrak society dictates that women should have male "owners"... until learning that "ownership" works out to what is essentially a mutually beneficial business relationship instead of slavery. Most Nadrak women carry several knives to "chastise" a man who gets carried away, an act that is regarded approvingly by other Nadraks. The Murgos may be a somewhat more accurate example, as their views on maintaining pure bloodlines require their womenfolk to be sequestered and locked up most of the time. However, we only see three Murgo women with any character depth in the whole series, and none are very accurate examples of the culture. This all turns out to be very deliberate, since The Belgariad itself firmly established the heroes' racism, and the Mallorean showed them that the rest of the world was never as cut-and-dried as they always believe.

No Woman's Land / int_247422c7	comment	Grayson and Masada in the Honor Harrington stories are both introduced as gender-imbalanced worlds with obligate polygamy where women have no rights or access to education. The situation of women on Grayson and especially their marital arrangements are later portrayed in an idealized way, while Masada continues to be a rape-happy dystopia, though Grayson is more chivalrous than Masada, and that their other hat is adaptability. Thus after exposure to foreign powers and particularly seeing Honor in action, they begin reforms. Still, their world suffers from a high mortality rate among male infants, so plural marriages remain a fact of life.

The point was heavily delivered that if she married him while over there, she would lose all her rights as a person. So her parents smuggled her back and revoked her passport and had her date an American boy. It was basically said by Phil that Arab men seek out American women to brainwash and hold hostage. In another episode where the girl was featured, it turned out they were right.

It's subverted at the end when Plastic mans up, gets all women in the kingdom equal rights, and gives Sapphire the crown.

No Woman's Land / int_594d11b6	comment	Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game by White Wolf says female trolls are just breeding stock and property used to make more trolls. World of Warcraft heavily disagrees however, as there are many female troll leaders like Arlokk, Mar'li, Lor'khan, Jeklik, and Primal Torntusk in various troll tribes, various troll males treating their mates with respect, and troll mooks coming in both genders. It also states this about quilboars, who are practically matriarchal in World of Warcraft. But then, the tabletop RPG came out several years before the MMORPG did, and two entirely separate teams of people worked on both versions, so it's not so surprising the lore went in different directions.

No Woman's Land / int_59da62aa	comment	Caesar's Legion in Fallout: New Vegas. Women are pretty much just to cook, mend wounds, be sex toys, and make more little barbarian legionnaires. They are explicitly stated to be nothing but property; every woman in the Legion is a slave who is raped, beaten, and brutalized by soldiers daily. If you play a female character and side against the Legion, en masse Death by Irony will ensue upon the Legion. The real kicker here is that one of the female slaves in the Legion's stronghold will warn you that some of the Legion soldiers are planning on raping YOU if you play as a female character. As a side note, there was originally a plan to have female priestesses in the Legion's Imperial Cult, but this didn't wind up being shown in the final game and it's unknown if it's still canon.

No Woman's Land / int_5e3f9611	comment	The adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale has the Republic of Gilead, where women cannot own property, work, read or write, or do anything else freely, and effectively have no rights now. Women who are seen as proper can become Wives (of the ruling elite), Econowives (married to ordinary men), Aunts (who train Handmaids), or Marthas (domestic workers) and be treated with a measure of respect. However, women who are seen as "fallen" (i.e. anyone whose life before Gilead doesn't mesh with a strict, fundamentalist Christian worldview), are forced to become Handmaids (concubines of the elite men whose bear children in place of an infertile wife) or Jezebels (prostitutes). Fallen women who refuse to become Handmaids or Jezebels are executed or become Unwomen, prisoners who are sent to the Colonies to die a slow death from radiation poisoning as they clean up toxic waste. Flashbacks show scenes of the process of women losing their rights, where Offred's (then June) credit and debit cards stop working, and all the women are then fired from their jobs under the eyes of armed guards. Serena Joy, one of the architects of the formation of Gilead, is now one of its victims, being subject to the same disciplinary actions as all women are under the authority of Gilead's male figures.

No Woman's Land / int_5eff4a2f	comment	Chinatown is a film noir Genre Deconstruction that more or less depicts the classic noir setting of The '30s as a patriarchal Crapsack World where all the women in the film meet sticky ends: The Fake Mrs Mulwray, the actress Ida Sessions, gets whacked to tie up loose ends. The real Evelyn Mulwray dies ignominiously like a criminal, her daughter/sister Katharine enters Noah Cross' clutches, very likely being raped in turn. Even Curly's wife, the woman who was caught cheating by Jakes at the start of the film, is revealed to sport a very new and fresh-looking black eye, hinting that Jake's investigation condemned her to a life of Domestic Abuse, and she has nothing but contempt for the "hero". The film also points out that even the hero, Jake is a sexist, a person who initially takes Noah Cross' words that his "daughter" is damaged over that of Evelyn who accurately tells him that her father is a dangerous man.

Barrayaran women have no citizenship rights, and in Memory, when serving as the "Second" (read Best Man) at the Emperor Gregor's engagement party, Miles reads from a long list of traditional Admonitions to the bride which are clearly instructions for obedience. Pretty much every non-Barrayaran person Miles meets thinks of his country as a hellhole on this score. Then you meet Lady Alys, the Professora, etc., and learn law and practice are two different things. In Ethan of Athos, Athos is a planet composed entirely of men, no women allowed whatsoever. It was founded by a gynophobic sect of Christianity, making it a Cult Colony as well. Thanks to Uterine Replicator technology they can actually make it work, though a sudden shortage of viable eggs kicks off the plot of the short story "Ethan of Athos" as the aforementioned Ethan ventures into the wider galaxy in search of replacements. It's a bit of a learning experience for him.

This may be more a part of the illegal immigration scare than "France is bad for women", as there is a strong narrative in France of "illegal immigrants end up enslaved by their smuggler".

No Woman's Land / int_6300d32a	comment	300: The unfortunate Persian messenger is astounded to see that the Spartans allow women (or at least, the queen) to speak at a council. This is generally assumed to be part of the film's attempt to portray the Greco-Persian war as an allegory for The War on Terror. In reality, while on the one hand Spartan women did enjoy more rights than in any other Greek city-state (Gorgo's line, "Only Spartan women give birth to real men," was directed at the Athenians in "historical" record), Persian women on the other hand enjoyed more rights than Spartan women at the time, and Spartan women were only given self-defense lessons because they believed that women who could fight gave birth to strong babies. On the other hand, the historical Queen Gorgo actually was an adviser for her husband, as well as the ruler before him. Ironically, according to the historian Herodotus, it was the Macedonians who were offended when Persian guests insisted on eating meals together with women and Alexander the Great often ran into trouble getting the Macedonians to accept the now conquered and assimilated Persians as equals. Subverted in 300: Rise of an Empire, in which the Persian Empire is portrayed as egalitarian enough to have the Dark Action Girl Queen Artemisia as Emperor Xerxes's Dragon-in-Chief and leading their fleet against the Athenians.

No Woman's Land / int_67855503	comment	The Old Arcadia Empire in Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle. Women weren't allowed to use Drag-Rides, commoner women were often abducted by male nobles to satisfy their desires, noble women were treated as tools for political marriages, and young girls (regardless of status) were subjected to horrific experiments to develop weapons. Women who were unable to give birth were treated even worse, as shown by how Raffi Atismata was treated poorly by her own family for getting a childbirth-preventing disease. From later information in the light novels, this society may have been a reaction to the Holy Arcadia Empire, which was toppled and replaced by the Old Arcadia Empire in a revolution. The known leaders of the Holy Arcadia Empire have all been female, though it's unclear if their society was actually matriarchal.

If you want to play a female, you have to divide your die rolls for strength by 2 and multiply your die rolls for charisma by 1.5. Since the rules are already obscure and hard to follow enough as it is, most players (if there were any) would choose to play a male just because it would simplify their lives. (But don't worry, the game isn't sexist, because the authors say in the introduction that they're not sexist so it must be true.)

No Woman's Land / int_7559ae0b	comment	Dune: In general, most societies in the universe are patriarchal — outside of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood — with women exposed to socially sanctioned subordination and violence; but the worst by far are the Tleilaxu, who lobotomize all their female children and use genetic and biological engineering to convert them into giant, bloated, brainless uterus-machines used for organ regeneration and cloning. The Bene Tleilax are also viciously xenophobic and jingoistic about their racial superiority, justified in part by their misogynistic theology, as they despise other cultures—and in particular the Bene Gesserit—which do not subjugate their women as totally or as absolutely as the Tleilaxu do. Fremen society is patriarchal, and even though Fremen women are strong and fearless, they're still treated like subordinates. For example, a man dying at the hands of a woman is considered embarrassing, as Chani notes when she kills a man who wanted to duel with Paul in the first novel. Also, sietch leaders are always male.

Farok speaks casually about the conquest of Naraj and his son's forced impregnation of Naraj women. The noble houses of Dune are rigidly patriarchal, headed only by men. Female nobles and concubines do find ways to manipulate events, but it is always behind the scenes. The noble houses also practice arranged marriage, or in Irulan's case, forced marriage. Even the all-female Bene Geserit sisterhood doesn't fully escape this trope. Granted, Reverend Mothers wield a great deal of power, and the sisterhood provides women with elite training and avenues for getting ahead. However, the sisterhood also exerts rigid control over initiates' sexual and reproductive lives for the sake of its selective breeding program, deciding who they will marry, who they will have sex with, and when and if they will bear children. The idea that initiates might have other plans is never considered.

Naturally, this means that Alexis frequently takes crap just for having two X chromosomes, though she tends to win over the common spacers with her A Mother to Her Men tendencies. Exaggerated in Mutineer when she is taken aboard by Captain Neals, who makes it his personal mission to drive her to resignation. This is not true of the other major star nations: the first recurring Hanoverese officer we're introduced to, Balestra, is a female commodore. Women are also more common in New London's Army since they have the attitude that if the Army is needed within New London's space, then they've got bigger fish to fry than worrying about pissing off some male-chauvinist fringeworld lord.

Men had absolute authority over their wives, concubines, and children. The social acceptability of polygyny and concubinage meant that a wife's status in the home was never secure. The absence of contraception meant that women could expect to bear large numbers of children and suffer reproductive health problems as a result. Girls born to impoverished families could be killed as infants or sold into slavery, where a life of servitude, physical abuse, and sexual violence awaited them. Middle and upper-class girls were subjected to foot binding and child marriage.

In The Serpent's Shadow, the section on the suffrage movement goes on at length at how the movement for the vote is really a movement for women's rights in general, since a married woman has essentially no rights against her husband and a daughter has no rights against her father. This is shown in later novels: In Steadfast, Dick beats Katie and steals her money completely legally, incidentally making it impossible for her to afford the legal fees for divorce. And in Home from the Sea, when Mari's father (apparently) gives her away to her cousin without her consentnote She's actually fully consenting, they're just hiding this from an interfering constable, the entire village (male and female) close ranks behind him to uphold his right to choose his daughter's husband.note According to law, a woman's consent to marry was necessary in this time period, but coerced consent was common.

No Woman's Land / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: The settings are all hostile to women to varying extents, although Dorne is better than most, and in at least one tribe of wildlings, women are encouraged to deal with an abusive husband by stabbing him in his sleep. The writer often uses female characters' story arcs to explore the essentially patriarchal nature of medieval society and most standard fantasy settings (which as a rule don't dwell on this) and take it to a whole new level. For example, Sansa Stark becomes disillusioned when she realizes that highborn girls are treated like chattel by their fathers and husbands, Daenerys explicitly considers arranged marriage a form of slavery, and Arya witnesses firsthand the horrible brutality inflicted on peasant women. Cersei Lannister despite being in high position as Queen regent, her power and authority greatly depended on her son(s) being the king of Westeros, and she is mostly a pawn to other people, her Father Tywin Lannister, along with Littlefinger and Varys. The Ironborn is something of a weird spot. In addition to the same Westeros restrictions for women applying there, they also encourage abducting women into raids to serve as "salt wives" (concubines) and its completely fine to kill them if someone else sleeps with them or Gods forbid, if they were raped. On the other hand, they do tolerate female fighters if they prove capable enough like Asha Greyjoy, but they also won't abide having female rulers. The society most hostile to women in the setting are the Dothraki, a hyper-masculine Barbarian Tribe that expects women and girls to be only mothers and wives, are little better than slaves that can be beaten and raped by whoever wants them until one man decides he wishes to keep them. Even then, a woman is only safe so long as her "husband" is strong enough to scare off or kill any man who tries to steal her from him and sometimes not even from him. One Lhazareen dosh kaleen reminisces how she was forced to have a khal's child and he broke her ribs when it turned out to be a female - she was less than 16 when that happened. Even the dosh khaleen, the widows of deceased khals that serve as the spiritual leaders of the Dothraki, are still forced to live as prisoners in a gilded cage, forbidden from ever leaving Vaes Dothrak and sworn to celibacy, whether they want to or not. And they are the most respected out of their women.

Non-Muslims in general are treated like second-class citizens, but female Christians can be taken as sex slaves and concubines. Female Muslims have it slightly better than Christians, but that isn't saying much since they are forced to wear headscarves on pain of being disfigured, are forbidden from reading, and expected to be only mothers and homemakers, and at least one prominent Muslim divorces his wife and sends her a brothel. The one exception is Besma, Abdul Mohsem's daughter, who is his favorite child and said to be his heir, despite her being born from a Christian concubine and having a younger brother from a Muslim stepmother and even then, this is noted to be unusual until she marries later down the line where she is subjected to an domestic abuser. Their treatment of women appalls characters so much that the USA (which has turned into a fascist Christian theocratic empire) comes across as A Lighter Shade of Black because for all its many, many faults, they note it at least grants greater freedom to women such as the right to join the military.

Sprague de Camp's novel The Honorable Barbarian, Princess Nogiri of Salimor comments that Kerin of Novaria, with whom she has just entered into a Citizenship Marriage, is an incredible man and husband and wonders why all Salimorese women don't go to Novaria to find such wonderful men. The primary reason she says this is that Kerin doesn't beat her when she argues with him.

No Woman's Land / int_b817dffd	comment	Barrayar is a unique example where the No Woman's Land is both the protagonist's home country and is neither presented as a utopia nor dystopia, and they are becoming saner by the time of the story. Barrayaran women have no citizenship rights, and in Memory, when serving as the "Second" (read Best Man) at the Emperor Gregor's engagement party, Miles reads from a long list of traditional Admonitions to the bride which are clearly instructions for obedience. Pretty much every non-Barrayaran person Miles meets thinks of his country as a hellhole on this score. Then you meet Lady Alys, the Professora, etc., and learn law and practice are two different things.

No Woman's Land / int_b8e9c6dc	comment	Suffragette takes care to portray the suffrage movement's England in a nuanced way, but to any modern woman, it nevertheless comes across as a misogynist hellhole, simply because it was like that. Especially the fact that the men have no scruples about violence against women, domestic violence as well as Police Brutality, and the protagonist's husband is legally entitled to give her child, for whom she is the primary carer, up for adoption without her consent makes England look extremely backward compared to America's usually idealized view of British culture. Not to mention the fact that the protagonist's employer is implied to rape all his underage employees, or at least the pretty ones, and get away with it. The fact that men are paid more than women for less work almost seems insignificant compared to the horrors of the time.

No Woman's Land / int_ba44f5d5	comment	Earth's Children has a more complicated example when it comes to the society of the Clan (Neanderthals). The Clan are quite patriarchal; men are always the leaders or Mog-urs (shamans) and generally have more power and respect within the Clan. Women of the Clan have to obey men, being trained to be attentive to their needs and also being required to let any man who 'makes the signal' have sex with her. Men of the Clan are allowed to use corporal punishment against women who are disobedient, though beating them bloody is frowned upon, and women are raised to be generally meek and submissive to men. They usually have no status in their own right, instead gaining status through their mates. Daily tasks are also strictly gendered; men do hunting and make tools and weapons, whilst women gather food, cook and clean. It is considered bad luck for a woman to even touch a weapon and they can be executed (usually via the death curse) if caught using one. They must also isolate themselves when they get their periods. However, this isn't entirely their fault. Some of the entrenched gender roles are not so much cultural as they are biological; over generations, the Clan became so used to having one sex perform particular tasks and roles, they lost the genetic memories they rely on to do the opposite. In other words, most Clan women are incapable of learning how to hunt, nor would they have the desire to do so. The same applies to men and because of this, they are dependent on each other for survival. For this reason, Iza believes that despite outward appearances, deep down the Clan know that men and women are both equally important. As such, most women don't feel any lesser, and most men treat them with respect and dignity - a man who fixates on tormenting and abusing a woman, such as in the case of Ayla and Broud, is seen as shameful and lacking in character. Medicine women are also very powerful; they're the only women in the Clan who have status in their own right, are deferred to by everyone in regard to medical matters, and believed to wield strong magic to heal people effectively. Clan men have been known to appreciate strength and courage in a woman; Brun, though it makes him a bit uncomfortable and he rarely openly shows it, is clearly impressed by Ayla's skill with a sling and ability to survive the death curse, and comes to respect her, whilst Guban is pleasantly surprised when Yorga begins fighting off the gang that attacked them to protect him. Clan women also feel sexual desire like Cro-Magnon women and can display this in their own way; they have certain postures and gestures they use to try and encourage a man to 'make the Signal' at her and do other things to get a man's attention. Of course, this is only referring to Clan women. For Cro-Magnon women living amongst the Clan, it's a lot more difficult and oppressive.

A member of the morality police whacks a woman on her husband's bike because her ankles are visible. Later we see that the protagonist's family is on the verge of starvation because all the men are dead and thus none of the women can leave the house because they don't have a male escort. They are starving to death with a market right down the street.

No Woman's Land / int_bee47cbe	comment	Unsounded Duane Adelier's home country of Alderode doesn't give you a ton of options if you're female; women are meant to be wives and mothers (or if they're of the Platinum caste, 'encouraged' to go into the sex trade) and little else. They're not expected to have jobs, and they're not allowed to own property, vote, or even use pymary, this world's version of magic. It says a lot when a woman's best option for real power and autonomy is to choose to become a Third Option and legally become a man; plenty of women from the Copper caste, who are relatively more liberated thanks to their long lifespans, take this route. The other countries on the continent, particularly the matriarchal Cresce, condemn such misogyny.

No Woman's Land / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: The female Skaven have been relegated to mindless sex slaves and breeding machines. The person who created the brood mothers has pointed out that although they're the only females explicitly mentioned, that doesn't mean they're the only female Skaven that exist, but it doesn't make their situation any less horrifying. Bretonnia is a chivalric medieval version of this trope: Women are considered second-class citizens that are not allowed to own property, fight, or take any part in politics, but men are also expected to open doors for them, protect them, and be courteous to them. It should be noted this mostly applies to the noble class, as the peasants tend to be more egalitarian as a simple matter of pragmatism (Bretonnian peasants aren't allowed to own property, fight, or get involved in politics anyway). Naturally, citizens of The Empire (which has gender equality as a basic right) use this trope on them a lot. It's balanced out somewhat by Bretonnian spellcasters being exclusively female (they're the result of young girls being taken into the forests and brought back... different; young boys taken the same way are never seen again).

The leader of the country thinks that Emily and Bridgettte's ironic, tongue-in-cheek song "Men Rock" is actually a song praising men for treating women like dirt and arranged to have them sing it as propaganda for a nationally televised broadcast. When they realize this, they sing a new song encouraging the women to live as they choose and stand up for themselves. This encourages the women to rise up against the regime. However, they apparently went too far with it, and Cromania is now the exact opposite of what it once was.

While (law-abiding) orcs limit themselves to female criminals given to them by other races, it's still very unusual to find any other women there willingly. Succubus territory could be considered the inversion of this, as (most of the time) the only men there are kept as food.

Aaron worsened this, preaching that women lacked Noise because they have no souls among other things.

No Woman's Land / int_cb7392b7	comment	A Court of Thorns and Roses: Prythian generally isn't an ideal place for women, though it varies across the land as to how well women are treated. All the Courts are ruled by men and Tamlin explicitly says that if he and Feyre were to marry, she wouldn't be considered High Lady and hold any power herself; the primary role of a High Lord's consort is to plan parties and give her husband heirs. Illyrians treat women extremely poorly; they don't allow them to become warriors and think their main purpose is to breed. The moment a girl gets her first period (and thus 'comes of age'), their wings are forcibly clipped so they can't fly, making it easier to control them. Fae men in general also tend to be rather possessive and jealous of their female significant others. However, the Night Court (surprisingly) is more progressive for women; Rhysand has tried to stamp out the Illyrian practice of wing-clipping and when he and Feyre get together, he officially names her High Lady, insisting she is his equal and co-ruler.

There are also separate rules for men and women — for example, widowers are encouraged to remarry, but widows are expected to take lifelong vows of chastity. It's also noted that Aperusa men love to seduce gullible, ignorant women who fall for the "romanticism" of the Aperusa lifestyle, only to find out after the wedding that they've condemned themselves to a life of backbreaking labor looking after a vain, lecherous, quasi-space-gypsy.

Taking it a step further, lesbians, rebellious women, and women with compromised fertility (which is the majority of them due to contamination and disease) are forced into prostitution if they're lucky or sent to work as slaves in toxic environments until they die horribly if they're not. This is made more disturbing by the fact that those who are charged with the task of indoctrinating women into such a life of servitude, The Aunts, are other women.

A society where the only careers available to women is marriage and children, is not healthy either for women, for children, or for their spouses. Depressingly, this seems to have gotten worse in his "contemporary" Eyes Wide Shut where by the turn of the millennium, women are once again trapped in boring marriages, with careers as prostitutes and Disposable Sex Worker, and/or Trophy Wife being their primary roles in bourgeois society. Whether this reflects how Kubrick believes society to be, or reflected his own imagination is, of course, a separate issue.

No Woman's Land / int_f01be35d	comment	Gor most certainly is: women are prized as objects of conquest, so in places where the risk of sudden seizure is great, High Caste Free Women are heavily covered to make raiders uncertain if they're worth the risk and accompanied by security level tantamount to house arrest while slave girls are left exposed as the more attractive targets. In areas where the risk is slight (such as Torvaldsland, which is too cold for the flying Tarns, too rocky for mounted raiders, and longboat raids can be detected well in advance), the Free Women wear less cover and get ultimate political clout within their household... however, they can still be enslaved by their husbands.note Well, not really. Bera, Jarl's Woman of Svein Blue Tooth, despite being a notorious shrew and a colossal PITA, couldn't be enslaved out of hand; however, when the Kurii invaded and took a large number of prisoners, they collared a number of women (mostly intending to eat them later, but still) and the Torvaldslanders decided they would have to view this as the equivalent of enslavement by men (after the Kurii had been beaten and the women regained). Elsewhere, it's worth noting that Free Women have plenty of say in both Caste matters and city politics — except among Initiates, but the author is prone to slip in the odd Take That! against religion — and are generally treated as objects of deference in their own cities. The point is that Svein was able to do it, and he wasn't shown to be one of the particularly cunning characters, he simply seized an opportunity. If Tarl or Forkbeard decided they wanted to enslave their wives, they could easily engineer the situation with the means a No Woman's Land society provides them.

No Woman's Land / int_f401cf02	comment	Blood of the Tribades: The priests of Bathor believe in strict patriarchy, with women having a duty to provide children and not possessing any other rights. Any who defy them are exiled or killed, as they deem their sins the cause of a disease afflicting the priests.

No Woman's Land / int_f5b2937b	comment	Although dragon society in general operates as this trope in Tooth and Claw, the capital region of Irieth is specifically implied to be especially harsh and unwelcoming to female dragons. Maiden dragons are at great risk of being made dinner for larger, more powerful males if a particularly overbearing standard of beauty and dowager value isn't met, though worse is reputed to take place. Marriage markets exist where maidens are sold off to the highest bidders, and to a more unseemly degree, there exist concubinages that also sell compromised maidens — all with the blessing of the draconic culture's Church.
