Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality	comment	This scale examines how the relationships between men and women are portrayed in fiction. The common positions on the scale vary by culture in time, distance, and medium. True equality, which is near the center of the scale, is rare. The edges are taken by positions where the opposite sex doesn't exist or exists in only a contemptible form. Note that Level 1 is not the exact reverse of Level 9, as there are far fewer works in which the writer simply fails to include male characters, or in which a setting is intentionally created as a female-free paradise. The extreme levels are a Sub-Trope of Chromosome Casting. Barring the middle, some measure of Gender Incompetence might be featured. See also The Bechdel Test.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_101bfcd7	comment	Sengoku Basara games: Basara only has eight playable female characters who have less significant roles in the story with the exception of Oichi, Ii Naotora, and the Gender Flip Saika Magoichi. Considering that the game took place in the 1500s, itâ€™s justified. But once the developers made it clear that they wouldn't be adding more female playable characters in Sanada Yukimuraâ€™s spinoff game, it made players think that the franchise is gearing itself toward the yaoi fandom with a Cast Full of Pretty Boys, which made it detrimental for the franchise to slide further to the â€œKnow Your Place, Womenâ€� level.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_11b7db91	comment	In Adventure Time, there are a lot of well-characterized female characters that are independent of a relationship with a male (Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, Lumpy Space Princess). Both genders are also very capable of kicking ass and defending themselves as well. The same principle also applies to its genderbent world of Aaa: Fionna, Cake, and Ice Queen are pretty much introduced as independent female characters who are as competent as their male counterparts, just as how Marshall and Gumball are as competent as their female counterparts.

The only good men are the ones who support her (the main cast) while the world is full of men who, if not criminals, are Straw Misogynists or Obstructive Bureaucrats. Female criminals are more likely to be sympathetic, while male victims are far more likely to have done something to deserve it or become vengeful killers afterwards. Benson and other female characters regularly express the opinion that women are superior to men and are not treated as Straw Feminists, just correct.

It features a Sibling Team and the sister of the group can fight as well as her brothers (or better; she's a karate student), and she has her own storylines as she develops her strength and independence apart from them and as she has a Friendly Enemy rivalry with the major villainess — which pays off when said villainess has a Heelâ€“Face Turn and becomes a Kamen Rider herself, adding a second woman to the roster.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_1682583	comment	Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam fits this category, having quite a lot of female pilots, most of which can fight just as well as any male. If any woman is defeated in combat, it's more than likely due to having a less than powerful mobile suit. For bonus points, one of the greatest themes of Zeta is the dissonant and controlling relationships between men and women. Paptimus Scirocco, for example, manages to manipulate so many women that one actually defects from his opposition. Examples of misogyny in the series cause in-universe reactions that range from outrage to the women actually turning it around on the men. Summarized aptly by Reccoa Londe: To make things more complex: the aforementioned woman that defected to the Titans was Reccoa, who did it either because Scirocco manipulated her or because she didn't want to be a tool for men, even though that is essentially what she became when she turned over to the Titans. Emma calls her out on this, as she herself defected from her original faction for better reasons.

While the show does a good job of portraying depth in their main characters, it's sadly noticeable outside the main cast. The female characters are universally portrayed as more sympathetic than the male characters. Many of the male antagonists are incredibly one-dimensional and often are used as Strawman Political. Even more telling is how in every case of abusive parents, the father is always portrayed as worse than the mother.

While Gargamel created the Smurfette early on (third book or so, meaning the seventh adventure overall), she wasn't a regular character, just appearing as a guest character or being name-dropped in a few books. This was eventually dropped by "The Smurf Olympics" when the Smurfette moved to the Smurf Village by the end of the story and Sassette was created two books later, thus turning the book into the namer of The Smurfette Principle.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age zig-zags this depending on the specifics In-Universe, it seems that most of Thedas is pretty gender-neutral, but Out-of-Universe, some stereotypes still apply. Overall, it is a Standard Fantasy Setting where women can become warriors (from common soldiers to knights to religious templars), scholars, heads of noble houses and lands, and heads of state with no in-universe detraction. That said, Women Are Wiser is an assumption for the Chantry, which is a gender-reversal of the restrictions of the Catholic Church, due to the game's Crystal Dragon Jesus herself being female. In Tevinter, their version of the Chantry has an all-male priesthood but is otherwise apparently as egalitarian as the rest of Thedas. That being said, almost every female character in a position of power got there either as a result of Sleeping Their Way to the Top or some sort of Wounded Gazelle Gambit. For instance, the game's Crystal Dragon Jesus was the wife of a king who later became the chosen bride of The Maker, the story's YHWH Expy. Likewise, Queen Anora of Ferelden married the legitimate heir, King Maric, to become queen consort. Empress Celene of Orlais (by de facto, the most politically-powerful woman outside of the Chantry) had to make friends and political allies to outmaneuver her cousin (a man) in the legitimate line of succession. It's also implied that she has, or will, perform sexual favors or employ seduction as necessary to secure her power. While each of these women quickly proved that they were ruthless and/or competent enough that the position was well deserved, for the most part, they still got there in a way that's stereotypically feminine. Dwarves have a tradition of female warriors who fight for the Silent Sisters, and women are forced to become warriors, smiths, or merchants just like the men depending on what caste they were born into. That said, Sleeping Their Way to the Top still applies, as we're specifically told about a subsect of Common Dwarves called "Noble Hunters", whose main goal is to have a child with a noble so that they and their child can be ascended into a better life. Noble hunters can be male, but the vast majority are female, and the player themselves can only have a sexual encounter with them if male. Elves in human lands are universally treated like shit by the humans and disenfranchised as a whole, although it would appear elven women in particular face the threat of being raped by human men who have been given license to abuse them. Dalish elves are egalitarian, with female hunters and warriors being just as common as their male counterparts. The individual leader of every Dalish clan, called the Keeper, can also be male or female. However, we're only given one glimpse at how a Dalish courtship works, and that instance involves a male hunter needing to go out and kill something to bring back as an engagement gift. Whether this would also apply if genders were reversed is unknown. The aforementioned Qunari have rather strict gender roles but enforce them just as harshly on their men as well as their women. The Qunari do not view women or men as being weaker compared to the other, merely different and destined to fulfill different duties in their fiercely collectivist society. Ironically, this makes the Qunari a de facto matriarchal society since the higher administrative and political positions are occupied entirely by women, according to their custom. Individuals who transgress these gender roles aren't punished or pitied, but rather declared transgender and allowed to assume the role, and gender identity, of whatever it is they're best at.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_1cc09117	comment	While Bleach is more focused on Ichigo and we have two damsels in distress, there's justification why both Rukia and Orihime aren't doing anything while being imprisoned and we have Yoruichi and Soi-Fon, two powerful female Shinigami who proved themselves in fights with very strong enemies. Another woman, adult form Nel, almost killed Nnoitora, an Arrancar who later gave Kenpachi a hard fight in a fight, but her powerup didn't last, and her opponent had not activated his Super Mode at the time. Visoreds' power rank is based on how long he/she can stay with his/her masks on. The first time Ichigo lasted three seconds, while Mashiro took 15 hours to reach her limits. Although this ends up being more of an Informed Ability since Mashiro still managed to wear out all that power in a single fight ending up being rescued by Kensei.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_1cf10d97	comment	For all of its flaws, Boruto learned a lot from the mistakes Naruto made with the female characters, as the power ratio between the genders is more balanced. Instead of being presented as Faux Action Girls, the young ladies are shown being capable of battle even before finishing the Ninja Academy. First villain was in fact Sumire, a girl who came close enough to destroy Konoha. Then there is Sarada, the main heroine, she is the one who has the first solo battle, before everyone, including the lead. Sarada is more active in her role than her mother and we certainly didn't need to wait for her to become a full Action Girl just after some Time Skip. And speaking of her mother, Sakura of all female characters is the most active with her ninja duty; the woman raised her daughter on her own, is the head of several hospitals within the Five Great Ninja Countries, and still goes into missions. She is also the only kunoichi one from her generation to be shown having a full solo fight. And generally speaking, the girls have same wide range of jutsu as the boys and are pivotal to the story more than before.

The main protagonist is male more often than not, but there are quite a few women who share that role with a male lead. (Although there has yet to be a female lord who is unquestionably the protagonist without sharing that role with someone else, but it's not a huge loss.) Story-wise, there are as many females in positions of power as males, and functionally, the genders are equal in combat. For every uber-powered male character you run into, there's an uber-powered female somewhere (e.g., Ike and Hector are regarded as powerhouses, but so are Ayra and Titania).

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_219914e9	comment	Megan Whalen Turnerâ€™s The Queen's Thief books are pretty even on gender equality. While the majority of the major cast is male in terms of numbers, Eddis and Attolia are both female and hands-down two of the wicked smartest characters in the series. Gen is arguably smarter than them, but he needed both of their smarts to accomplish most of his crazy gambits. Even stupidity (when it shows up, which isnâ€™t often) is distributed pretty well proportionally between male and female characters (for example: Nahuseresh and Costis, for males, and Hanaktosâ€™ daughter for females). Even the important deities are evenly split between male and female, as with Moira and Eugenides. Irrespective of gender, most of the main characters in this series are pretty freakinâ€™ badass. This is especially impressive considering the setting is based on ancient-to-medieval Greece, and even the culture within the books isnâ€™t incredibly egalitarian. The characters are defying their own universe to be gender-equal.

More than half of the original team were female (including the dinosaur), and, unlike the males, actually had superpowers. Of the original two males, one was self-admittedly dumb and the other was revealed to be The Mole. While both guys on the team are now generally competent and likable, it's the girls who do the heavy lifting and make the decisions. Even the Gender-Neutral character is physically female most of the time.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_243ff754	comment	Hollow Fields, being written for all demographics, takes special care in regarding both genders with equal capability and importance. There are more women than men in the setting, with the protagonist being a female, but this doesn't stop the male characters from playing crucial roles in the story. Almost everyone is capable of mad science, and the sole exception is an artificial creation designed solely for watchkeeping (and has an ambiguous gender). The female Engineers, despite being portrayed as Hot Teachers, are not played for fanservice, and are capable of being just as sadistic and evil as their male counterparts. There are characters of both genders in distress, and either have a valid reason for being distressed, are still capable of helping their rescuer, or are an acceptable target. Considering what kind of a story this is, both genders are also susceptible to a Fate Worse than Death if they don't do what it takes to survive.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_25abb662	comment	Assassin's Creed Syndicate, despite taking place in Victorian-era London, one of the most fiercely sexist eras in history, manages to outdo all of its predecessors in the series when it comes to depicting equality between men and women. The game has a male and female protagonist in the form of twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye who run a street gang called the Rooks, which is going up against the Templar-controlled Blighters to reclaim London for the Assassin Brotherhood. Notably, both the Rooks and Blighters, as well as the more elite Templars, are composed of male and female Mooks, averting the Men Are the Expendable Gender trope by presenting the Would Hit a Girl trope in a feminist context. There is a controversial split over Evie's handling, namely in that she's playable for roughly 25% of the story missions compared to Jacob's 75%. This is mitigated somewhat by the fact that Evie is available for literally everything else in the game. Free roam, income activities, and the vast majority of side quests can be completed by both Jacob and Evie. There is also the fact that Jacob's actions are presented as being hasty and shortsighted, and ultimately have negative effects on London that Evie must help fix, and that it is ultimately her quest for the Shroud that finishes off the game and becomes the more important storyline. There also turns out to be a second female protagonist for a brief portion of the game that jumps to World War I named Lydie Frye, Jacob's grand-daughter and the active Assassin in London in 1916, thereby making it out to be that the Player Character trio in the game is composed of Two Girls and a Guy.

Among the male cast, Batler, Kanon, Kinzo, George, Rudolf, and Willard H.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_2d644371	comment	The Tales Series keeps close to a 50/50 ratio of male and female party members, and it's the norm to have at least one Action Girl amongst them. There's also a good number of female villains. Perhaps the only imbalance was the lack of female protagonists, which has now been remedied with Tales of Berseria. Tales of Symphonia does this intentionally. In the beginning, Lloyd's personality is balanced with Collette's. We have Raine and Kratos, both portrayed as sensible and intelligent, and when Sheena joins up, she and Genis are considerably more idealistic than Raine and Kratos, but also considerably more pragmatic than Lloyd and Collette. When Kratos leaves, his place is eventually taken by the equally respectable Regal. Overall, people of both genders are represented with a wide range of personalities, viewpoints, and intelligence/skill levels. In addition, the game's world seems quite egalitarian, with a healthy supporting cast of important male and female NPCs, a powerful and prominent female villain (Pronyma), and several women among the enemy organizations' ranks. Tales of Xillia: Either the male or female lead can fill the role of "protagonist," while both are extremely capable, as are their companions. Tales of the Abyss sits particularly firmly here with extremely badass heroes and villains both male (Luke, Jade, Guy, Van, Asch, Largo, Sync) and female (Tear, Natalia, Anise, Legretta, Arietta) alike, and said males and females sharing equal prominence in the story. In fact, the leading lady Tear's introduction consists of her infiltrating a mansion and performing an assassination attempt on someone who later is revealed to be the main villain. Mind you, she's the White Magician Girl and also a soldier. Tales of Berseria is the first Tales games in which the protagonist is female, and sure enough, she's a massive badass who carries the story exceptionally well, with a great deal of Character Development to boot. Tales of Vesperia is another good example. The main party consists of four guys, four girls, and a dog. All four girls are Action Girls, and the whole party has a wide range of different personality types, which are all treated as equally valid and respectable. They're also all extremely competent in their own way, with Yuri and Judith being the biggest badasses. There's also shown to be several women among the knights, guilds, and political positions. Perhaps the only notable imbalance is the lack of major female villains, but even that's softened a little by fighting plenty of female Mooks as well as male ones.

Unlike Dynasty Warriors, several female characters do make contributions on the battlefield and they have female Mooks who are guarding them. However, in history, the women of the Sengoku Period rarely played significant roles except a few (such as Kai, Ii Naotora, Gracia among others) which is why their storylines in the games are mostly fictional. With Samurai Warriors 5 being a Soft Reboot, most of the characters are cut off meaning there are only four female characters (No, Oichi, Sena, and Mitsuki) who are playable.

There are a lot of capable male and female warriors (whether Huntsmen or otherwise) on each side, although the main four are all girls, and the pilot saw Ruby Rose easily dispatching an all-male mook squad then putting Roman Torchwick on defensive until he was rescued by Cinder. In the preceding Yellow Trailer, Yang Xiao Long, the older half-sister of Ruby, also punched Junior's gangsters all around his nightclub, with only Junior himself and the Malachite twin sisters — his Bodyguard Babes duo — posing a somewhat real challenge to her. Subsequent episodes and volumes, however, took a more gender-balanced approach, with the secondary team of four being (at least in the beginning) a Gender-Equal Ensemble, and a number of supporting characters of both sexes were introduced and proven to be as efficient in combat. In summary, Remnant societies may have tensions along a number of lines such as racial or class, but all of them, for the most part, have moved past gender prejudices. Understandable since they have to fend off the Grimm with every fighter available lest humans get overwhelmed by them, and any human — or Faunus, — regardless of their sex/gender, may have a Semblance that turns out to be handy in this struggle.

The two main (female) characters are Shantae herself, a strong and level-headed half-genie, and Risky Boots, a scarily competent villainous pirate. The most important male characters are Mimic, an old relic hunter whose discoveries kick off the plots of the first two games but mostly isn't very helpful; Bolo, who's dumb as a brick but allegedly a good fighter; and the Pirate Master, who is incredibly powerful and dangerous, and the main concern of the third game, but completely unheard of until then.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_3b34143f	comment	In Harry Potter, the wizarding world seems to be more gender-equal than ours; there have been female Ministers for Magic, American presidents, Aurors, headmistresses of Hogwarts, and female Quidditch players for centuries. In fact, two of the four Hogwarts founders were women. According to Word of God, magic is an equalizer for factors that normally kept women down in society and since the global Wizarding World is so small and beholden to the Masquerade, they donâ€™t really have the option of being choosy about who is or isnâ€™t allowed to hold a high place in society. Most of the important characters are still men, although there are several strong and very important female characters (and two villains we love to hate-Dolores Umbridge and Bellatrix Lestrange). The fifth book in particular added several prominent female characters that are fan favorites, including Luna Lovegood, Tonks (who was also the first female Auror identified on page), and the aforementioned female villains. The two people outside of Harry who are most directly involved with both the downfalls of Voldemort are women as well. His mother, Lily, sacrificed herself for him which caused him to â€œdieâ€� the first go around and Narcissa Malfoy later lied to his face, knowing it would kill him, to save Draco.

All four girls are Action Girls, and the whole party has a wide range of different personality types, which are all treated as equally valid and respectable. They're also all extremely competent in their own way, with Yuri and Judith being the biggest badasses. There's also shown to be several women among the knights, guilds, and political positions. Perhaps the only notable imbalance is the lack of major female villains, but even that's softened a little by fighting plenty of female Mooks as well as male ones.

Lena Mae Rigg Basilone is the only female character who made a strong impact as she is the only female marine present in the show and marries John Basilone. The eighth episode focuses on their relationship which, in turn, also shows John's death in Iwo Jima near the end. In the series finale, Lena gives the Medal of Honor to John's parents and appears in the "Where Are They Now?"

The Red Shirt Army is the exception, as it is composed of convicted felons considered expendable and, in Real Life, male convicted criminals do outnumber women in many countries.

Women are not disparaged or overtly forced into roles, but they tend to be in traditional or support positions while men do all the real work. There are no female public figures, traders, crafters, or instructors, but several barmaids and artists. A common criticism of the first book, The Name of the Wind, is that all of the women the protagonist encounters are attractive, and so some attempts were made to rectify this in the sequel, The Wise Man's Fear, which makes some clear attempts to create females to directly equal and occasionally exceed male counterparts, and also some that aren't described as physically attractive. Nevertheless, the males are always more powerful and prominent in the end.

Sometimes various series can be a borderline example, especially due to the lead character inevitably being male. However, the lead females of the franchise still fight on the front alongside their male counterparts, still will save others as well as be saved, and sometimes are either more level-headed or more intelligent by comparison. And while it's more on the lower end of this part of the scale, it's still very near equality. It should be noted that males always outnumber females on ranger teams and women are rarely the focus character of the season. This can be attributed to the Sentai footage where the red ranger is usually treated as the series main character. It's fair to say non-red male rangers can get just as little focus, as well.

From a Watsonian perspective, most of the female characters such as Phedre and Melisandre are skilled at manipulation, diplomacy, espionage, and politics. Terre d'Ange has a Queen and they don't discriminate between genders since it's a land of Eternal Sexual Freedom and prostitution is treated with respect. But from a Doylist perspective, they're not exactly equal in gender since most of the D'Angeline female characters we've encountered are good at sex, implying that All Women Are Lustful, and there's a lack of female warriors. Phedre is a courtesan whose only job is to spy and seduce regardless of gender and there are several times when she was raped and tortured. Outside of Terre d'Ange, the women weren't treated very well and prostitutes are treated like second-class citizens. It gets worse when Imriel becomes the POV character and several major female characters including Phedre are demoted to secondary characters.

There are several important women, but they are all obsessed with Geralt and defined largely by their sexual allure. Succubi in this series are harmless and thus a complete package of male sexual fantasy. There is zero downside to having sex with one, as they're all absurdly beautiful and kinky, and have few concerns outside of giving and seeking sexual pleasure. While we're told that their male equivalents (incubi) exist, we've never seen one or any other creature which would reverse genders. Any monsters that desire human women are hostile and deadly, as a rule. Thankfully, the treatment of women improved quite drastically in both sequels, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in particular being praised for having some of the most empowering and memorable female characters in recent memory, such as Ciri, Triss, and Yennefer. For that game, see the next section down.

Most important NPCs are male even then. It's also worth pointing out that two of the three female party members have storylines revolving around their feelings for Cloud, and the third has a more neutral story but has a crush on Cloud too. There is a really terrifying female villain but she is literally used as body parts by the male villain, who dismembers her and can act his will through those parts of her body. The two most important female villains are a ditzy blonde 'new recruit' character who screws up everything she tries and needs to get rescued by her male coworkers (and Cloud), and a sexy female executive who gets a comical Designated Girl Fight and little else, and despite her role in Barret's Mangst his rivalry is transferred to a male rival for Spaghetti Western pastiche reasons.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_49a88435	comment	Final Fantasy XII gender-balances well with princess Ashe being more recognized as the main character than viewpoint character Vaan (though Basch was originally designed as the main character, until it was decided that the game's demographic wouldn't go for a middle-aged male lead). The focal point of the story is not centered so much on the characters as it is on the political climate of Ivalice as a result of the Archadian Empire's control over Ashe's rightful territory of Dalmasca (and, in the background, their struggle with the neighbouring Rozzarian Empire). The only real gender issue that is ever brought up within the game is the segregation between male and female Viera (of which only the females are even seen in-game); outside of this, gender roles appear to be more or less balanced. With that said, Judge Drace, the sole woman within the ranks of the Archadian Judge Magisters, was the only one to directly call out Vayne for killing his father, Emperor Gramis, and was executed for it. The fact that she was the only major female character outside of the protagonist's team in the game doesn't really help.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV has an interesting case. Aside from the obvious situation of lacking statistical differences between the genders, all three nations are led by women, and the main contact for the second half of the story in A Realm Reborn is female as well (making roughly half of the active members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn female, if you count Tataru; if the Player Character is female that balance is tilted). In addition, A Realm Reborn adds playable male Miq'ote and female Rogaedyn, maintaining the balance of playable genders. (Although Shadowbringers would later tilt this again with the lithe, buxom, and bunny-like Viera and the hulking, stout, and felinid Wrothgar being exclusively female and male, respectively.) However, while Kan-E-Senna of Gridania and Admiral Bloefyswyn of Limsa Lominsan are strong Action Girl leaders of their nations, Sultana Nanamo of Ul'dah is a tiny Lalafell and unsuited to fighting, so the Ul'dah contact is her hulking general, Raubahn (he is often seen carrying her). Additionally, after defeating Titan, Minfilia, and half of the Scions (including plenty of the men, mind) are kidnapped. Fortunately, the two "active" women, Yda and Y'shtola, escape and help you coordinate the rescue, but it still is a little rocky. The game also makes sure you remember that women are at risk of sexual harrassment and violence in a way male characters aren't, and "girl or woman forced into sex work by poverty" is a very common backstory. It is also made very clear that the Garlean Empire uses rape as one of its tools to subjugate conquered territories. On the plus side? NPC dialogue will actually change to reflect your character's gender when speaking about you.

She acts as his Hypercompetent Sidekick, which begs the obvious question of "If she's so good, why isn't she Drive?" The answer given was a Handwave that "She tried, but only a few people are compatible with the Drive tech and she's not one of them." This, combined with Kiriko's Chickification in the second half of the series, cements the show firmly in this category.

Not only are the hero and heroine both well-rounded and competent characters (as well as being relationship goals), but there is a 50/50 split between men and women in the military whom you can recruit into your squad. In fact, a lot of the best soldiers in your roster are women, along with plenty of great male soldiers. The main Big Bad is a man, while his most important - and most ''dangerous'' - subordinate is an absurdly powerful woman. Said female villain also gets her own DLC, in which you can play as her for 4 separate missions and learn more about her character. And yes, she gets to be insanely awesome in it. So yeah, this game has absolutely no shortage of strong women or men whatsoever.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_5425ce75	comment	The Grand Theft Auto games straddle the line between this level and Level 4. Men are far more numerous and are the showrunners, while women are token characters and run the gamut from Disposable Sex Workers and porn stars (Misty, Candy Suxxx) to criminal matriarchs (Catalina and Asuka, Auntie Poulet, and Elizabeta). Some of the women in the series can stand up for themselves, but often they serve as little more than love interests, sex appeal, and/or the cause of conflict and motivation for the main protagonists. Later games nudge the series closer towards equality with a larger number of plot-relevant female characters, though; Grand Theft Auto V in particular introduces female police officers to the previously male-dominated forces and allows you to play as a female character in the Online component with no gameplay-related disadvantages over male characters.

On the one hand, the characters clearly live in a patriarchal society, given that it's a traditionalist rural village in Japan. On the other, individual examples of powerful women abound, both among the humans and vampires (and on the flip side, there's a fair amount of ineffectual men), although it is true that the most powerful female character is also probably the closest thing the show has to a central antagonist. Furthermore, both males and females participate in the climactic battle at the end, seemingly with no real discrepancies in gender roles.

There were even a few episodes where the guys tried to get women on board, only for something strange to be revealed. The series finally gained a female lead halfway through Season 7 but even then, Season 8 largely took place in the ship's prison, and her role was greatly overshadowed by the other male characters. Then she was completely written out in the miniseries that followed.

You can't justify it by male dogs being bigger and stronger than females because Weed, the protagonist of the sequel Ginga Densetsu Weed, is small and not even fully grown, certainly far smaller than an average fully-grown adult female, but is portrayed as being one of the best fighters nonetheless. note The narrative makes it's obvious this is all due to the author's sexism; we get a line from Cross saying that she loves babies because she's female followed by her diving off a cliff to save a random unrelated puppy (this would have been fine if any of the males would have been willing to do the same thing), a male dog about to become a father admitting to preferring having a son and being backed up by other males, and almost all of the few females shown all end up being damsels in distress, including a random female "warrior" who gets captured the very next scene after being introduced just because the plot needed someone to cause the fight to go wrong.

Men hold nearly all the positions of authority, and the few women that have any authority are either useless or psychotic. With exception of a small handful of good guys, all the men are either mindless sex addicts or depraved sadists or sleazy manipulators, all bent on enslaving women and usually abusing them sexually. The women are completely obsessed with their romantic/sexual reputations, and the damage done from all the times they're raped and/or nearly killed.

The story is a feminist take on the various tales of Saint George and the Dragon, so the country that was founded by the George analogue, Galian, has a little more difficulty—Galian's love Cleolind was subject to Chickification by the religion of Virtudom, and there is also some Slut-Shaming (but it's also indicated that chastity is a valued trait for both sexes, not just women).

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons, in statistical terms anyway. It can differ according to the setting, with allowances for the fact that it's mostly medieval-level societies. Planescape, Eberron, and Forgotten Realms are probably the most egalitarian, with plenty of powerful, competent women who hold the same roles men do. D&D has an interesting relationship with this trope. As explained in the v3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide II, the makers of the game have gone out of their way to ensure gender equality, both mechanically and within the (generally assumed) game universe—even when this clashes with players' initial expectations of a medieval-ish society. There is a simple and compelling reason for this: they don't want barriers for female player characters. However, since D&D is possibly the biggest Trope Codifier of the fantasy genre, a lot of other fantasy works that didn't have the same practical need for egalitarianism picked it up anyway. The result is that today, completely gender-blind fantasy worlds are the norm unless this trope is actually discussed in the work. This applies even if the world is otherwise based on a medieval or otherwise non-gender-equal real-world culture. In 1st Edition AD&D, females' Strength scores had a lower ceiling than males', which effectively barred them from being fighters by making them undesirable, and literally barred Small female demihumans from classes with a high minimum Strength score. -4 Strength!

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_6bbde1c8	comment	Overwatch from a gameplay perspective has almost as many female badasses as males. In the story, which is told in the Expanded Universe, they're just as central to the plot as their male counterparts, whether they be on the side of good (Tracer, Mercy), evil (Widowmaker, Sombra), are morally ambiguous (Symmetra), or are a core part of the backstory (Ana). There's no implication that gender holds someone back at all in this universe, with the good guys accepting of both genders and even the villains being Equal-Opportunity Evil.

But the lack of women in leadership roles or female Mook soldiers holds it back. That said, the franchise does take place in Ancient China and is a hell of a lot more gender-equal than its source material, so it does very well, all things considered. However, with the exception of Diaochan and Wang Yi, most of the playable female characters are only known as the wife, daughter or sister of several male playable characters and have little contribution to the story.

If a girl isn't a bonafide Action Girl (and there is only one true action girl in the series) then she is at least competent enough not to have to depend on a guy to save her each and every time; that, and every major female character, no matter her physical strength, has contributed something to the plot or arc. Not only that, but anything bad that can happen to a woman can also happen to a man, and vice versa (and quite a lot of bad things happen in-story).

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_72262aee	comment	In Avatar: The Last Airbender, the genders are represented fairly equally. To break down the main group, in the first season and part of the second, there was Aang (male/bender), Katara (female/bender), and Sokka (male/normal). In the second season they pick up Toph (female bender) and the group stays as that until the third season. Then, halfway through that season, finally finishing his Heelâ€“Face Turn, Zuko (male/bender) joins and several episodes later helps bring in Suki (female/normal). That brings it to an even representation in overall numbers and combat abilities for both sexes. Azula and her all-girl team of antagonists are far more successful in general than the previous male antagonists (succeeding in their conquest of the Earth Kingdom where Zhao failed at the North Pole, and striking down the Avatar himself after Zuko failed so many times). It's also a bit odd to note that the villainous Fire Nation seemed to have a more gender-equal military (or at least police) than the good guy Earth Kingdom (we only ever saw male Earth Kingdom soldiers or police/city-guards, while the Fire Nation even had mixed-gender prisons and prison guards). The Water Tribes turned out to be even more sexist; Sokka was something of a He-Man Woman Hater, at first, and the waterbenders at the North Pole turned out to be a bunch of jerks—much to Katara's chagrin. This resulted in a Jackie Robinson Story, which ultimately worked out for Katara. Thereâ€™s also the fact that come the time of Korra , Zukoâ€™s daughter is the Firelord and itâ€™s not treated like a big deal and sheâ€™s a calm, capable head of state. Of the six Avatars we know of (Korra, Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Yangchen), there's a perfectly even three to three gender balance. The shot of all the Avatars in Korra is roughly split equally between men and women. The Legend of Korra brings us a close-up on one of those female Avatars, series lead Korra. Her main crew are two male benders, and her Airbender master is male as well. However, joining the female members are Pema, Ikki, Jinora, and especially Chief Bei Fongâ€”a kickass earth bender who doesn't take crap from anybody, and Asami Sato, a rich girl who is perfectly capable of kicking asses without a bending ability. The bad guys, on the other hand, skew pretty heavily male, with the only female Equalists being background extras with no lines. The second season ups the ante a bit for both sides. The hero's side remains fairly egalitarian with the addition of Kya and Bumi, Tenzin's brother and sister, both of whom are very competent in their respective fields and get the opportunity to show it. Lin Beifong takes a back seat to keep the focus on Korra and her gang, but Jinora steps up into her place to take a significant role in the plot of the finale. The antagonists' side is still fairly male-centric, with Unalaq and Varrick being the equally villainous bosses on both sides of a civil war. However, their female sidekicks both take much more active roles in the story. Zhu Li, Varrick's Girl Friday, seems to be even more competent than Varrick at times; Eska, Unalaq's daughter and dragon, is the dominant personality of her and her brother Desna's relationship and not at all afraid of going against her father's orders when she deems it necessary. The third and fourth seasons make things about as equal as possibly imaginable between the genders. The third season features another male main villain (Zaheer), however two out of his three subordinates (all of whom are extremely badass) are female. It also introduces Suyin Bei Fong, the (very powerful) matriarch of a city of metalbenders. The fourth season finally introduces a female main villain (Kuvira) as well as the current Firelord (Izumi), not to mention reintroducing Toph. However, Kuriva's main (and very competent) subordinates tend to be male. All in all the series is a textbook of a show with many strong and competent characters of both genders.

Steven, being half-human, is the only male gem, and being just a kid, is constantly outshined by Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. Even the human characters exemplify this, with Connie training to be an expert swordfighter before she was even a teenager, and Sadie being able to best huge gem monsters despite having no training. Meanwhile, male characters such as Lars, Greg, and Ronaldo are noticeably less skilled. It's reversed a bit more as the series goes on, with Steven becoming more competent and capable, and Lars gaining a few interesting traits of his own.

We have Raine and Kratos, both portrayed as sensible and intelligent, and when Sheena joins up, she and Genis are considerably more idealistic than Raine and Kratos, but also considerably more pragmatic than Lloyd and Collette. When Kratos leaves, his place is eventually taken by the equally respectable Regal. Overall, people of both genders are represented with a wide range of personalities, viewpoints, and intelligence/skill levels. In addition, the game's world seems quite egalitarian, with a healthy supporting cast of important male and female NPCs, a powerful and prominent female villain (Pronyma), and several women among the enemy organizations' ranks.

In addition, they all have biotic powers and have a natural life span of around one thousand years (barring injury, illness, or death, of course) and in general are viewed as wise, peaceful beings. Although, since there is no (and never was a) male counterpart to the asari, it's argued that they are "genderless" (but just happen to fit all the traits of a human female). However, they are also stereotyped as the sex objects of the universe. Every species known is attracted to them, they are considered naturally beautiful and adept to sexual promiscuity, there are asari strippers everywhere, and many of the important asari characters show off skin or boobs. So, in short, they fit both the tropes of the Straw Feminist utopia and women as sexual objects.

One anomaly, gameplay-wise, is that the majority of female pilots are usually endowed with stats that favor towards high accuracy and evasion, and assigned machines with long-range attacks note e.g.: Seolla Schweitzer and Wild Falken, Excellen Browning and Weissritter/Rein Weissritter, Lamia Loveless and Angelg/Vysaga, Kusuha Mizuha and Ryu Ko Oh/Shin Ryu Ko Oh, Fiona Gureden and Excellence Eternal, Leona Garstein and Gaurlion Custom/Seigerlion, Ring Mao and Huckebein. , While Male Pilots are endowed with stats concentrating on high Defense and Melee, with machines that specialize in close and midrange combat note e.g.: Arado Balanga and Wildwurger, Kyosuke Nambu and Alteisen/Altesien Riese, Axel Almer and Soulgain, Bullet Luckfield and Ko Ryu Oh/Shin Ko Ryu Oh, Raul Gureden and Excellence Lightning, Tasuku Shinguji and Giganscudo/Giganscudo Duro, Irmgult Kazahara and Grungust/Grungust Kai , though this also gets balanced out with other pilots that donâ€™t neatly fit this dichotomy note e.g.: Katina Tarask, Russel Bergman, Alfimi, Gilliam Yeager, Raidiese F. Branstein, Ratsel Feinschmecker, Ricarla Borgnine, Yuuki Jaggar, Radha Byraban, Ryune Zoldark, Folka Albark, Fernando Albark, Alion lucada., and the choice to modify a pilot's combat stats and assign them to other mecha.

Looks like that, when you live in a Crapsack World full of mutant animals, merciless criminal gangs, radiation, enormous and scary super mutants, and extremely deadly creatures like the deathclaws, sexism is a stupid and pointless thing and every human able to use a weapon must do the work. Though there are only a few female Enclave soldiers (besides, they look the same as men due to the Powered Armor, making it hard to tell them apart). Most of them are given seemingly safer jobs as scientists and leaving the dangerous wasteland duties to the men. Most likely because of their wish to preserve the human species. Fallout: New Vegas does have as one of its main factions Caesar's Legion, who are quite enthusiastic about wanting to push back the setting to Roman levels of sexual discrimination... But then, they're kinda bad guys, so it's not really surprising.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider is at this level. Almost all Kamen Riders are male, while the female characters tend to be either battle support or emotional support to the male heroes. Even if a female has fighting capabilities, they don't manage to have much impact on a battle. There are a handful of female Kamen Riders, but early on they mostly only appeared for one movie or episode, during which they either lost their powers or died. Kamen Rider Kiva features Badass Action Girls, but none of them are able to effectively fight without the aid of a male character, making them Faux Action Girls. They do manage to score a Moment of Awesome by defeating a villain with a borrowed Kamen Rider system. Kamen Rider Gaim is the first series to really buck the trend by featuring a Badass Dark Action Girl Kamen Rider who, for a while, was one of the stronger characters in the show. During her first battle against The Hero in his Mid-Season Upgrade form, she fights him to a standstill but was later implied to have held back. It was only after higher tiers of power were introduced and her Heelâ€“Face Turn that she became a little bit dependent on the more powerful male characters. (That said, one character does note how her motivation is to find someone worthy to give her support to, rather than try to go for the series' prize herself.) Special mention to Kamen Rider Drive, which goes out of its way to avoid giving the lead's partner Kiriko a Transformation Trinket. She acts as his Hypercompetent Sidekick, which begs the obvious question of "If she's so good, why isn't she Drive?" The answer given was a Handwave that "She tried, but only a few people are compatible with the Drive tech and she's not one of them." This, combined with Kiriko's Chickification in the second half of the series, cements the show firmly in this category. Kamen Rider Zero-One is the first series to make a female Rider both a major recurring character and keep her powers throughout, with a storyline largely independent of the protagonist, but even then she spends a good chunk of time under the (male) main villain's thumb. Kamen Rider Saber again has a female Rider as a regular character, establishing her as a cunning Manipulative Bitch — before her characterization quickly drops off into one-note Big Brother Worship. Kamen Rider Revice is the first series to approach Almost Perfect Equality and fully have a female Rider as a main character. It features a Sibling Team and the sister of the group can fight as well as her brothers (or better; she's a karate student), and she has her own storylines as she develops her strength and independence apart from them and as she has a Friendly Enemy rivalry with the major villainess — which pays off when said villainess has a Heelâ€“Face Turn and becomes a Kamen Rider herself, adding a second woman to the roster.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_846beec3	comment	Vandread presents two gender-separated colonies, Tarak and Mejale which is locked in a constant state of Space Cold War. Tarak is the Orwellian, industrial, militarized planet of men. All food is synthetic, flavorless pills. All public gatherings are related to sports, marching, and being manly. Everyone wears a uniform. Babies are made by merging your genes with those of your buddies in a factory, and they are raised by dedicated orphanages-schools. Mejale is the Awesome, but Impractical planet of women. All things are polished and shiny. All military uniforms are excessively flattering. Appearances are all important. The citizenry form couples, of the lesbian top/bottom variety, called the "Oma" and "Fama" in the native vernacular (probably derived from homme and femme), and make babies by merging two eggs and implanting them in the Fama. They eat real food and celebrate real holidays, like Christmas.

The writers defended this decision as being a story that could only be told with the gender disparity, but that justification has only fueled further debate. Further controversy came about when the story revealed that most of the female cast are either inactive non-combatants, damsels-in-distress, fanservice, or a combination of the three, and the sole playable female character (Aranea) is only playable for a brief time and disappears from the story entirely during the final act, as we're only told of what she'd been doing in the interim.

While the main male characters like Marco Diaz and Tom Lucitor are shown to be quite competent and powerful figures in their own right, Star as well as the women in her family are much more powerful. In the Season 3 finale, the magically-experienced Tom gets hit with a dose of The Worf Effect just to show how powerful the monster-Mewman hybrid Meteora is. In the show's lore, Mewni, Star's home planet, is a magical matriarchy where only Mewman women can undergo "Mewberty" and transform into godlike butterfly creatures. In the royal Butterfly family, only women can wield powerful magic, so the throne is always held by a long line of queens; the only exception was Jushtin the Uncalculated, who became the first male heir to the throne and the first male mage. But his mother, Queen Skywynne, was pressured into superseding his claim in favor of his younger sister and "rightful" heir, Solaria the Monster Carver. It is also implied in lore that men can only gain political power by marrying a Queen, and even then they're treated as glorified consorts whose only roles are to give the Queen a successor and make the Queen look good.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_8ee238c9	comment	The Persona series has a mostly balanced gender ratio. Male party members tend to outnumber females, but in Persona 4 and Persona 5 this is somewhat mitigated by the addition of a female Navigator, who turns the party into a Gender-Equal Ensemble. Both men and women get the same amount of development and have their own Character Arc. Girls arguably even had more development in the original release of Persona 3, since they had Social Links that men lacked until the release of Portable. While the protagonists for each game are mostly male, there have been a few female protagonists: Persona 2: Eternal Punishment had Maya in the lead role rather than Tatsuya, and Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable further rectify it by adding a Post-Script Season starring Aigis and a new, albeit non-canon female route, which was even acknowledged as its own universe in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. Ironically, the mostly-male protagonist lineup means that their Velvet Room Attendants, whose genders are always opposite to their guest, are all female.note Barring Theodore, who hails from Portable's female route anyway, and 1 and 2, which lacked Attendants. Just for the record, Attendants are alternatively known as Rulers of Power, and are among most powerful characters in the franchise.

The women are Closer to Earth, but also tend to be nagging shrews, unapologetic misandrists, ending up in chains with some man lording it over them, or all three. Men, on the other hand, are all idiots and deserve to be abused. Witness Mat being raped at knifepoint, which is considered hilarious. In The Wheel Of Time, all male members of the Mage Species are doomed by their powers to go violently insane, and so have to be "gentled" before they can do (much) harm. As a result, the balance of power is shifted way over towards the female side, and many women are convinced of their inherent superiority (in fact, most men are inherently stronger in magic as well as physicality.) So, as noted, it arrives here not because of gender parity, but because both sexes are equally sexist. Two Wrongs Make A Balance.

Utena wins fights against both girls and boys, but the boys tend to be dismissively sexist toward her, so she proves them wrong and knocks them down a peg. But women are not in charge here. The social systems surrounding the heroines are set up to make them into either princesses or witches, the in-universe analogue to madonnas and whores.

They're also tolerant of same-sex relationships which made other Westerosi nobles view them as The Savage South. These practices were brought by the Rhoynar Queen Nymeria who married Mors Martell to unite the region under their rule. However, on the personal side, Arianne Martell suspects that her father is passing her inheritance to her younger brother, Quentyn, which got her starting a coup to reclaim her birthright except it failed and she found out that her father is planning to marry her to Viserys Targaryen as part of their family's revenge to help Targaryens reclaim the throne and to destroy the Lannisters for killing their relatives and this could make her queen if it succeeded. Though Viserys died for insulting Khal Drogo, she's still heiress of Dorne and Quentyn is the one continuing the plan by wooing to Dany. But when Dany suddenly left Mereen after riding Drogon, Quentyn tried to tame her other two dragons but got burnt into a crisp.

Lirael notes in "Goldenhand" that there is no distinction even between male and female clothing in the Old Kingdom, save for underclothes. In Ancelstierre, traditional gender norms seem to have more sway, with all of the soldiers and all named leaders being male and Nicholas mentioning "debs" or debutants, hinting at more traditional English norms. However, it is mentioned in "Abhorsen" that some of Sabriel's old school friends have become powerful in their own right and Sabriel, who herself grew up in Ancelstierre, is never shown to have qualms about gender roles.

The House and Rahl and the Imperial Order are ruled by straw misogynists, where women are considered breeding stock or worse. The Midlands is an odd example: It's a patriarchal society where women wear their hair cut short as a sign of submission to men, but the ruling Confessors wear their hair long as a sign of defiance and kill all of their male children at birth because they don't think men have the "unique compassion of a woman" to resist abusing their powers, thereby placing them at either the far end of female domination or a kind of isolated Full Gender Separation within a non-separated society. Westland is probably the most equal, with women able to rise to the highest positions (councilors), laws in place to protect women and harshly punish rapists, and none of the obvious social restrictions that women in the Midlands live under.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy V falls here with not only the main playable cast being 3 out of 5 females, all 3 are figures of authority and just as capable as the male cast. Final Fantasy VI has a debate going over which female party member is the main character, said two female characters are the only ones who learn magic naturally, one of them used to be a general, and the plot focuses just as much on the female characters as the male ones in total... due to there being that many more male characters. Final Fantasy VIII uses the same trick as The Wheel of Time, not in both genders being stupid, but with giving the females the cool magic powers. Other than that, the various roles are split very well among the cast, with both genders shown to be equally emotionally weak. This is also the first game in the series where the main playable party is split 50/50 between the genders (disregarding temporary party members), a tradition that's been (mostly) carried on since. Final Fantasy IX hands superpowers of mass destruction and Heroic BSODs to both genders equally (if you take Kuja into the consideration, if not then the girls win on the superpowerful magic side of things). There are several competent females in positions of power (including badass army general Beatrix), and an amazon army for Alexandria. The main party of heroes has Garnet, Freya, and Eiko; three strong, fleshed-out, and highly competent ladies. While the universe of Final Fantasy X may be less equalized, the story itself is definitively gender-balanced. With the focus of the story being on Yuna's journey instead of Tidus's achievements, and the only insignificant party member being a male one (Kimahri). And the stretch through the ruins of Zanarkand shows that the setting's past has been strewn with strong female figures just as much as males. Final Fantasy XII gender-balances well with princess Ashe being more recognized as the main character than viewpoint character Vaan (though Basch was originally designed as the main character, until it was decided that the game's demographic wouldn't go for a middle-aged male lead). The focal point of the story is not centered so much on the characters as it is on the political climate of Ivalice as a result of the Archadian Empire's control over Ashe's rightful territory of Dalmasca (and, in the background, their struggle with the neighbouring Rozzarian Empire). The only real gender issue that is ever brought up within the game is the segregation between male and female Viera (of which only the females are even seen in-game); outside of this, gender roles appear to be more or less balanced. With that said, Judge Drace, the sole woman within the ranks of the Archadian Judge Magisters, was the only one to directly call out Vayne for killing his father, Emperor Gramis, and was executed for it. The fact that she was the only major female character outside of the protagonist's team in the game doesn't really help. Final Fantasy XIII continues on the by now-tradition of having just as many well-fleshed out female characters as male characters. It's the second in the series with a female main character and gives the females both of the more iconic recurring summons (Bahamut and Odin). The males, as a balance, get the cooler Synthesist roles. Final Fantasy XIV has an interesting case. Aside from the obvious situation of lacking statistical differences between the genders, all three nations are led by women, and the main contact for the second half of the story in A Realm Reborn is female as well (making roughly half of the active members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn female, if you count Tataru; if the Player Character is female that balance is tilted). In addition, A Realm Reborn adds playable male Miq'ote and female Rogaedyn, maintaining the balance of playable genders. (Although Shadowbringers would later tilt this again with the lithe, buxom, and bunny-like Viera and the hulking, stout, and felinid Wrothgar being exclusively female and male, respectively.) However, while Kan-E-Senna of Gridania and Admiral Bloefyswyn of Limsa Lominsan are strong Action Girl leaders of their nations, Sultana Nanamo of Ul'dah is a tiny Lalafell and unsuited to fighting, so the Ul'dah contact is her hulking general, Raubahn (he is often seen carrying her). Additionally, after defeating Titan, Minfilia, and half of the Scions (including plenty of the men, mind) are kidnapped. Fortunately, the two "active" women, Yda and Y'shtola, escape and help you coordinate the rescue, but it still is a little rocky. The game also makes sure you remember that women are at risk of sexual harrassment and violence in a way male characters aren't, and "girl or woman forced into sex work by poverty" is a very common backstory. It is also made very clear that the Garlean Empire uses rape as one of its tools to subjugate conquered territories. On the plus side? NPC dialogue will actually change to reflect your character's gender when speaking about you.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_a944b4bb	comment	Most of Tolkien's Legendarium fits around here. The gender balance of named characters is heavily skewed in favor of men (in The Lord of the Rings, you barely need both hands to count all the onscreen named female characters), female leaders are rather uncommon, and female warriors are even fewer. Even in terms of worldbuilding, it is far more common for a character to have a named father and an unnamed mother than it is to have both parents named, to say nothing of the reverse. The world of Middle-Earth is explicitly patriarchal, which is rarely called into question. That said, there are still a number of rather strong and active female personalities, such as Galadriel, Eowyn, and Luthien, as well as a number of female Valar, and women are universally treated with respect by any good-aligned character. Adaptations have often tried to deal with this by either playing up the handful of women who do exist, or inventing new ones wholecloth.

And even in more gender-segregated societies like that of the Tiste Edur, who have no warrior women while men are almost exclusively warriors and have more political clout, the women on the other hand have a lot more say-so in other areas starting from familial matters and going to matters of sorcery, with only the Warlock King having more sorcerous clout than the matriarchs of the noble families (even though both genders seem to be equally likely to have magical affinities). In fact, those families have both matriarchs and patriarchs. Gender equality through most—and possibly even all—cultures in the setting is, per Word of God, intentional.

We do see women working in space, though largely as stewardesses, secretaries, and other stereotypically female professions. Dr. Floyd does speak to two female scientists, but the group conducting the lunar expedition as well as the Discovery crew are both made up entirely of men. Arthur C. Clarke's sequel novels, especially 2010: Odyssey Two, incorporate more strong female characters.

The vast majority of male characters are the only ones involved in the fighting and drive most of the plot, with the very few relevant femalesnote Mainly in the first movie, as Kim and Lenore are actually the two remaining females from Taken 2 onwards. taking the role of either Damsel in Distress, Disposable Woman or both. By Taken 2, Kim is the only female who outgrows this position, and even then she just provides non-offensive support to Bryan, while merely trying to dodge the bad guys rather than at least fighting them back briefly with the means she has in hand (to say nothing of the fact that she returns to damsel status in Taken 3). Of particular mention is the fact that plenty of Albanian women are seen mourning for their relatives at the opening funeral scene in Taken 2, yet none of them appear in the Albanian families' mission to get revenge on Bryan afterwards.

On the other hand, the Adeptus Sororitas are all-female and the Imperial Guard features equal amounts of men and women (not that one would notice from the official minis though). Xenos races are usually more equal and have more visibly female models. When it comes to background, however, women are much more favourably positioned in general, bordering on true equality (sexism is still an issue, but usually presented as something bad that has to be fixed).

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_bfd7c6e0	comment	The government in Drowtales runs under this principle seeing as women have a higher status than men (not to mention being physically larger than the men) and only a few men have fairly important positions. There is a growing male rights movement in the story, but it's mostly been implied and not focused on much. This probably comes from the fact that the original D&D Drow have a strict matriarchal society, created and kept in power by their demonic goddess. The Sarghress clan is a major exception—males can aspire to leadership and some levels of equality, although this still ruffles some feathers among the females. Sarnel was picked to be squad leader ahead of several females and Rosof Tions is the head of a major house within the clan—something unheard of in Drow history. It's fitting for the clan theme as Quaintana's main motive is to break the status quo, the denial of Blue Blood superiority, and the principle that there is gold to be found in the gutters.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_c4a1d59e	comment	Many of the past decade's video games have featured a watered-down version of this trope out of pragmatism: The differences between male and female skeletons means that a female character model will look noticeably wrong if it's moving the same way as the male characters (and animation rigs are fairly costly in terms of development resources). This hurdle doesn't stop you from including women in motion-captured cutscenes and the like, so many developers partially avert this by having female characters in prominent supporting roles (e.g. Cortana, Anya, and the female helicopter pilot in Call of Duty 4). Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare features the first female squadmate who runs around with you on the ground since Call Of Duty: Finest Hour, although she's the only woman who does that in the entire game, and the two games in the franchise allow you to play as a female soldier in multiplayer. And since the male characters whose screen time exceeds theirs tend to be "blank slate" tough guys, said women often wind up with more depth and personality than anyone else.

While the official "female lead" Shana is definitely the resident Damsel in Distress, we also have Rose and Meru, two highly competent Action Girls with every bit as much plot importance as the male characters (Rose is almost as much the leading lady as Shana). Later on, we meet Miranda, who's the general of an army. There's also a rather powerful female villain, Lenus. However, most of the equipment is notably gender-specific, Rose's Action Girl status is sometimes treated as somewhat out of the ordinary, Lenus is the only prominent female villain, and a good many of the important NPCs are male. However, there are still a decent share of important female NPCs and three of the seven legendary heroes are female, and one of them is none other than Rose, one of the leading ladies. Overall, while there are a couple of factors holding it back a little, it is certainly not enough to situate the game in Level 4, placing it quite comfortably here.

For the past 9 seasons for Las Vegas, the ratio for male and female CSIs (not counting Detective Brass and The Coroner Doc Robbins) is 3:2 and when Greg Sanders got promoted, it's 4:2 until Warrick is killed and no one replaced him.

There's a lack of female detectives until Sofia Curtis got promoted to detective but she disappeared in Season 8. CSI: Miami started with a similar ratio of 3:2 (not counting the female Coroner Alexx who later left the department) until Megan Donner left the team, making Calleigh Duquesne the only female member of the main CSI team until Natalia Boa Vista joined in. There used to be a female detective (who is Horatio's sister-in-law) but she became a private investigator and Detective Sergeant Frank Tripp seemed to be sole detective in the main team. CSI: NY started with a similar ratio of 2:2 until The Coroner Sheldon Hawkes took a career shift which is 3:2 and it stayed consistent for 9 seasons.

It also depends on the faction, with the FPA tending towards Gender Is No Object, though even the more patriarchal Empire has a number of formidable women.

Unfortunately, they almost universally serve as damsels in distress (Nicole in the first game, Lexine in Extraction, Ellie in the third), or as Mission Control (Kendra in the first game, who turns out to be The Mole and is ultimately killed by the Hive Mind). Dead Space: Extraction, Dead Space 2, and the iOS version make noble efforts to include genuine Action Girls like Karen Howell, Ellie Langford, and Vandal, AKA Karrie Norton, who is actually the playable protagonist of the iOS edition. However, she's a rather blatant case of Samus Is a Girl, and Ellie Langford—despite establishing herself as a total badass in the second game—undergoes a massive case of Badass Decay in between games, turning her into a Faux Action Girl. Dead Space 3 features a (long dead) female admiral as well as a female EDF pilot aboard the Eudora who gets minimal screen time before being killed off. Dead Space: Aftermath is probably the best the series gets when it comes to female characters since it stars an absolutely badass Action Girl and features multiple other minor female characters who prove themselves to be just as capable as the men.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_cfc9f1d8	comment	In World Neverland, male and female characters have the same stats, and both genders can take any job. In addition, when a couple gets married, they can choose whose last name to use, unless one member of the couple has a hereditary title—in which case, his or her last name takes automatic precedence. (I.E., if a man marries the Queen, he'll always take her last name.) The only real difference is that pregnant women can't do certain things on the day they're due to give birth (such as go into dungeons), but they're Pregnant Badasses otherwise.

During her first battle against The Hero in his Mid-Season Upgrade form, she fights him to a standstill but was later implied to have held back. It was only after higher tiers of power were introduced and her Heelâ€“Face Turn that she became a little bit dependent on the more powerful male characters. (That said, one character does note how her motivation is to find someone worthy to give her support to, rather than try to go for the series' prize herself.)

Men and women participate essentially equally in both government and the military (the President is a woman for most of the series, and the head of the Fleet is a man, but the Quorum of Twelve is mixed and there are high-ranking officers of both sexes). In some cases, they're even more open-minded than modern society. For instance, public restrooms, at least on Galactica, are unisex. Also, in one episode Sam mentions to Apollo that Kara proposed marriage to him, and there is no indication that a woman proposing to a man is unusual in their society.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_d5361876	comment	Mother (also known as EarthBound) is a series that focuses on a male protagonist throughout all three games but does tend to feature females as being fairly integral to the story throughout the series. Gameplay-wise, the female playables all suffer from being cast as relatively frail physically, though Earthbound Beginnings has a Pippi-Longstocking shout-out who joins early and is the strongest character in the game growthwise (same stat growth as Teddy, the game's physical powerhouse), and though Ana is technically optional, she gets a myriad of insanely strong offensive, defensive, and support PSI, and is arguably the most potent PSI user in the entire series; she can do nearly anything with her PSI. EarthBound is perhaps the worst offender of the series, with Paula being kidnapped repeatedly, despite her being the first playable character with some extremely potent offensive PSI at her disposal, and the one who is integral in bringing together all the other characters as well as the one character needed during the final battle thanks to her special ability. Mother 3 is by far the best in terms of gender equality portrayal, including dealing with androgyny and transgenderism in a positive light.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_db30cf92	comment	Warrior Cats: The Clan society is set up for almost perfect gender equality with both toms and she-cats receiving equal training and equal opportunity to become medicine cat, deputy, or Clan leader. Not to mention that there has never been a point in the series where there were no female leaders, all the Action Girls throughout the series, and how later deputies have been female. The only difference between toms and she-cats is that she-cats have to nurse their kits for six months, which is more a biological necessity than discrimination. On top of that, there has been an almost equal number of male and female Main Characters. The only real question that has come up on occasion is whether or not female cats in positions of authority should be allowed to have kits. There's no explicit rule against it, but it is not often done because it is believed that having kits will distract and incapacitate the she-cat, especially while nursing. Leafstar challenges this idea in SkyClan's Destiny, citing the warrior code rule "The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code" as the reason: she's the leader, so she gets to say what's okay and not, and she says that it's okay for female leaders to have kits. There's still a lot of controversy among the fans as to whether there's sexism in the series, though, with the 15:4 ratio of male to female leaders from the prequel super editions to the present often cited, or the way that the series tends to follow Females Are More Innocent, with one female villain whose Freudian Excuse involved being dumped by a tom and another minor one who got a Gender Bender thanks to Continuity Snarl to many male villains.

Each and every story has both boys and girls embarking on important fantasy adventures together, and they all actively contribute on a fairly equal level. The main imbalance is that the girls are usually kept away from battle situations, but modern adaptations tend to fix that and there's no reason to believe that the actual Narnians don't have women fighting in their ranks. In fact, the movies blatantly show female Narnians in battle, such as a whole unit of female centaurs acting as the archers in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe film. There's also no shortage of powerful female villains in addition to male ones.

The background characters â€” turrets and personality cores â€” are all female if you go by voice, with the sole exception of the Morality Core (who doesn't speak) and the Anger Core (who is voiced by a man and does nothing but snarl). The sequel technically has more male characters than female, but almost all are secondary or equal to new or preexisting female characters: Wheatley, the deuteragonist, acts in a supporting role to Chell and is explicitly a huge idiot; the Announcer is a pre-recorded voice that was probably never sentient and has little presence after the first chapter; Cave Johnson is a posthumous character present in voice only, whose success was mainly thanks to money and Hypercompetent Sidekicks (including another female character, Caroline); the male turrets and cores are merely defective counterparts to their female predecessors, present mostly for comic relief; and ATLAS (male) gets equal billing with P-Body (female).

For one Snow White and Prince Charming are a Battle Couple, their daughter and grandson are prominent players, and the supporting cast is made up of a near equal group of males and females. This extends to the villains too—expect to see an equal amount of male and female villains. And while villains do get redeemed, the show avoids the High-Heelâ€“Face Turn. Out of all villains, half of the males have been redeemed and at least two females (Tamara and Cruella) are irredeemably evil. The show also averts the tendency for male villains to not get an explanation for their villainy as many of them are Anti-Villains.

Even then, promotional art usually features the male character more often. There is also not many female villains in the series, either. Starting from Dragon Quest III, female characters are much more prominent. All of the playable characters can be male or female. Dragon Quest XI is definitely here. Although the main character is still a man, three out of the seven until Act 2, when another guy joins party members are strong and powerful women; especially Jade, who's basically girl power incarnate. Among the supporting characters, there's a good balance between men and women, and the player sees plenty of female fighters at the coliseum. Add to that a handful of female villains, and this game does pretty well. There's even some positive LGBT representation in Sylvando; while the game never states that he's gay, it's quite clear that he's intended to be written as such.

Evil and crazy witches appeared several times, but women in the Buffyverse seemed to be better at magic—both in skill and ethical use. Dedicated male magicians seemed to be morally ambiguous at best. Compare Jonathan (or Andrew for that matter) to Willow and Tara. When facing Dark Willow in Season 6 Giles is explicitly empowered by a coven of witches. Female villains are guaranteed a pardon if they show the slightest amount of regret and are treated much more understandingly than men: the shortcut to showing that a villain is a monster is having him say "bitch", Buffy and Willow use the word "man" as an insult by the end of Season 7, the fact that Buffy reviles the shamans who created the slayer line despite the fact that they saved mankind many times over, that women in-universe are better than men at absolutely everything and of course—femininity equals good. In fact, the only male character who has shown any competency and remained good throughout the series was Giles. Angel may also count, since becoming "Angelus" wasn't entirely his fault, but aside from him? We've had a Disappeared Dad, Xander, whose most consistent contribution to the team was repairing the damage caused by demon battles (offscreen of course), a misogynist villain, and his two incompetent cohorts, Spike's alteration between Badass/Villain Decay, Robin Wood's attempt to kill a good Spike, a demon whose sole purpose was to wreak vengeance on men and many more!

That being said, sheâ€™s the only other character, aside from Takuya, to claim both her opponentâ€™s Human and Beast Spirits at the same time and is the only one to avoid having her D-Tector stolen, both with the Toucanmon and in the final battle against Cherubimon.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_e3ed54c7	comment	Pretty Cure falls into this category, with most if not all of the main cast being exceptionally powerful females. There are a few male characters that serve as support, such as some of the faries and humanoid mentors like Blue, but all other males are either Muggle friends and family, villains of the Heel and eventual Face variety, or otherwise non-combattant. And before HuGtto! Pretty Cure introduced the concept of male Cures, the series mostly portrayed the idea as a one-off gag, a pipe dream, or a temporary powerup they had to make themself. Even in Hugtto there's some give to this: the first male Cure that season (Henri/Cure Infini) only held off the episode's monster until the girls dealt the finishing blow, and all the other men were only transformed in the Super Empowering Event that gave everyone else enough power for the girls' Spirit Bomb anyway.

One of the carrots offered by the Boskonians in the Lyrane subplot of Children of the Lens is the promise not only of power but of technology to enable the women to do without males at all. If they accept and succeed they'll be replacing the Kalonians, who are almost the exact societal opposite—but who biologically cannot completely discard their women (for reasons which were obvious at the time the books were written).

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_e6267766	comment	The Star Wars Legends novel The Courtship of Princess Leia featured two examples in succession. The Hapan Consortium has been a matriarchy for centuries, to the point of having a female monarchy in the Queen Mother, whose son's wife will reign after, but not him. Their attitude is summed up in the saying: "Never let a man believe he is the intellectual equal of a woman. It only leads him to evil." The Witches of Dathomir, meanwhile, are a matriarchy of female Force users (women alone use the Force on this planet; they show surprise, upon meeting Luke Skywalker, that a man can use the Force, but this is because they weren't taught, as later books show Dathomiri men learning to use it). Men have the roles we associate with women, such as caring for their children, cooking, cleaning, etc., while being explicitly referred to and treated as slaves. Even Luke is enslaved, albeit briefly.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality / int_ec02633a	comment	The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, as a generalization (due to Deliberate Values Dissonance, since the game is meant to reflect medieval social mores), alongside rare "exceptional" cases. Almost every bandit, thug, henchman, and soldier Geralt encounters is male, the vast majority of important women are young and beautiful while most important men are tough and weathered. Most heads of state are men, and that continues all the way down to local barons and village ealdormen. Named women who are considered adept in male fields (like combat or craftsmanship) are treated as exceptional pioneers who are not just good but often better and wiser than men. When subjects like rape and spousal abuse become a plot point, it's always male-on-female. At one point, the female Deuteragonist Ciri is praised by a group of soldiers for being an Action Girl, but she's treated as an exception with one of the soldiers then questioning her ability to ride a horse since most women he knows "can't ride anything other than a cock proper".

The women of Gor fall into one of three categories—free women, who are supposed to be afforded respect; outlaws, who have no legal protection and are subject to capture and worse; and slaves, often of the sexual variety. It is all too easy for a woman of the first two categories to become the third category, and unlike men who fall into slavery, who generally break free of their bondage and move on with their lives, women who become slaves generally tend to stay slaves.

Most of the female characters have strong personalities and shown to be competent and capable, but still revolve around the more numerous male characters (often because it's their their job, which then evolves into affection). Although there are two female Gundam pilots, Allenby and Rain, they don't get the same specialty techniques as the male pilots and the second spends the majority of the finale episodes as a Damsel in Distress. Allenby avoids Designated Girl Fights (being the only female Gundam Fighter in the Finals her opponents are male, and she goes after big, burly male thugs on several occasions) and her fighting skills are shown to be on par with the rest of the Shuffle Alliance.

All the Knights are male, like in the traditional legends, Arthur himself voices some sexist views, and a good chunk of the women met throughout the show are damsels in distress. However, the two female leads, Morgana and Guinevere, are both shown to be capable. Guinevere in particular (who's probably the best and most consistent example of female empowerment here) joins Merlin and Arthur's adventures on many occasions. Morgana's competence goes in and out, but there are still episodes where she can put on a good showing. We also meet other women, like Morgouse and Isolde, who are established warriors, and there's plenty of female villains.

Most of the original casts are composed of male characters with only six original femalesnote Kairi, Namine, Xion, Ollete, Larxene, and Aqua out of the characters. And most of them are either irrelevant to the story (Ollette), Damsels in Distress (Kairi, Namine, Xion), or follow The Smurfette Principle (Larxene). However, Aqua has been a step in the right direction, being a fully playable Action Girl and the only one in her Power Trio to receive the Master rank. While her story does involve her searching for her male friends, it is still a noble cause in itself and she does quite a lot of world-saving of her own along the way, with Xion and Kairi following along in III and the Re:Mind DLC respectively.

While it shows more women in leadership positions than Star Trek: The Original Series (including female captains, admirals, and a female Chief Medical Officer), the majority of them are guest stars or minor recurring characters. Of the three women in the main cast at the start of the series, the only one in a combat role was quickly written out when her actress decided to leave the show, unhappy with the way her character was being written. The other two, while influential and highly respected crew members, are both medical professionals who rarely see action, and Counselor Troi is widely considered to be one of the more useless officers. The one time they both had an opportunity to get some action, the scriptwriters had them simply smash some mooks' heads with some convenient tableware, despite the fact that both actors in question are trained fencers. Note that the combat woman was not written as sexist, but more as a one-note character.
