When a cast of villains includes a woman, chances are The Hero is not going to kill her despite doing the same to all the male villains. She'll either survive, be let go, get taken alive, or die in a way that has no involvement from the hero.
Note that this only applies for when male villains are killed by the hero but the female villain is not; if none of the villains die, the other villains die by other means, or the female is the only villain, it doesn't count.
This trope is usually a result of dumb luck on the villainess's part, but there may be instances where the hero outright refuses to kill her for their own personal reasons i.e. they might have feelings for her or they may feel killing a woman, no matter how evil, is against their own personal code.
See also Men Are the Expendable Gender, High-Heel–Face Turn, Wouldn't Hit a Girl and Double Standard. If the villainess suffers no consequences at all, she will be a Karma Houdini.
Over time, aversions of this trope have become more common. Especially with modern works with modern sensibilities being far more comfortable showing women reap what they sow. Even if that means a violent end at the hero's hand.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Heralds of Valdemar: The magical sword Need will protect a warrior from all hostile magic, endow a sorceress with absolute expertise with the sword, and heal anything short of a death-wound. She also places a geas on the woman who bears her to protect other women (sometimes even if said women don't WANT protecting) and will not permit herself to be used against a woman, no matter how wicked.

Devil May Cry: Even before she pulls a High-Heel–Face Turn, Dante refuses to kill Trish after discovering her treachery because she looks like his mother. The only other two demons whom Dante doesn't kill are Griffon and Mundus. Mundus is too powerful for Dante to kill and Dante has to settle for simply sending him back to the demon world, while Griffon is killed by Mundus for failing to kill Dante.

Bleach:
In the Arrancar arc, the Amazon Brigade quartet of female villains all survive. Their leader, Halibel, is defeated by the Big Bad during a You Have Outlived Your Usefulness moment, and not the heroes.
In the Lost Agent arc, the female members of X-Cution (Jackie Tristan and Riruka Dokugamine), are two of only three to survive, along with another member who is a small child.

Kamen Rider Wizard: Medusa, the sole female among the three greater Phantoms, survives her final battle with the female Kamen Rider Mage only to be killed by Bad Boss Wiseman/Sou Fueki, having outlived her usefulness to him. Averted in the film Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land, in which Wizard and Beast slay all three greater Phantoms in an Alternate Universe.

Angel:
Justine Cooper slashes Wesley's throat and steals Angel's baby son so Holtz could take him away to a Hell dimension. She is last seen abandoned by Wesley to start a new life.
Eve helps Lindsey McDonald in his plan to demoralize Angel. While Lindsey is killed by Lorne, Eve is last seen fleeing to an uncertain fate as Wolfram & Hart collapses.
Angel also lets Harmony go after she betrayed him even though in the same episode he orders Lorne to kill Lindsey because he's not trustworthy.

Shadows of the Damned: Justine is spared by Garcia after he defeats her. While technically Garcia doesn't kill any of the previous bosses (they get executed by a Sister Grimm, presumably on Fleming's orders, and Justine only escapes this fate because Garcia has killed all three Sisters by that point) it is odd that he spares her when he was swearing to kill her just a few minutes earlier.

The World Is Not Enough: Played straight and later averted. The nameless female assassin working for Renard chooses to kill herself rather than get captured by Bond or face Renard's wrath for her failure. On the other hand, Elektra King tries to invoke this trope by using Bond's feelings for her against him; it doesn't work and he shoots her dead. He later kills Renard, telling him that Elektra is waiting for him.

Once Upon a Warrior: The evil Snake Cult is led by their Sorcerous Overlord, Irendri, whose two Co-Dragons are the ruthless bandit leader Sundigundam and Irendri's personal henchwoman Chitra. Yodha kills over a hundred Cultists with ease throughout the film and fatally impales Sundigundam in a one-on-one battle. However, Chitra and Irendri are disposed of by Yodha's love interest Priya, who kills the former and seals the latter in an amulet.

Dark Forces Saga:
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast: Kyle Katarn spares Tavion, Desann's female apprentice, but kills Desann. Played with, in that Kyle actually seemed more willing to kill Tavion (sparing her out of frustration and disgust), but genuinely offered clemency to Desann before Desann made it clear he was not going to surrender. This bites him in the ass in Jedi Academy when Tavion becomes the leader of a new Dark Jedi cult.
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy: The game averts this trope with Alora, Tavion's own Dragon, since she will always die at Jaden Korr's hands, but plays it straight with Tavion: if you stay on the Light Side, Tavion will be possessed by the spirit of Marka Ragnos after beating her the first time, only to be killed by Possession Burnout once the Ragnos-possessed Tavion is defeated. Jaden Korr will kill Tavion if they turn to the Dark Side, but at that point they hardly qualify as a hero.

With the exception of Lord Zedd, all the male villains are killed. On the other hand, every female villain except for Queen Machina is purified.

Power Rangers Operation Overdrive: Miratrix and the Fearcat Crazar are the only female villains among the Big Bad Ensemble. While Crazar is killed by Tyzonn, Miratrix is imprisoned in a jewel by her master Kamdor in "Two Foes Down". Every male villain on the show is killed by the Rangers, with the exception of Moltar who dies at his brother Flurious's hands.

Castlevania: All of the male villains in the series are killed by the heroes or other villains. This is not the case for the Council of Sisters; Lenore commits suicide via sunlight, Striga and Morana opt out of the conflict with the humans after realizing how futile it is, and Carmilla chooses to kill herself, going out on her own terms rather than dying by Isaac's hand.

Con Air: Spoofed. Cameron Poe kills several of the criminals during the plane crash (and afterwards, Cyrus the Virus) until he runs into Camp Gay inmate Sally-Can't-Dance, who has been referred to and treated as female the entire time. Poe just knocks "her" aside with a simple slap to the cheek, leaving Sally as one of the few crash survivors.

Elenium: Played with. All of the male villains have been killed by the heroes. Princess Arissa, the lone female conspirator, is still alive and, it is implied the heroes would have been spared her life, but she drinks poison instead. When she realizes that the heroes don't plan to kill her, she begs the sorceress Sephrenia to save her. Sephrenia refuses and the heroes leave her to die.

The Advanced Player of the Tutorial Tower: The Pandemonium Guild consists of three guys and one girl named Anya. When they try to assassinate Hyeonu, he kills the guys but spares Anya. The justification given is that Anya is skilled at drawing magical circles — a skill Hyeonu himself lacks, yet needs for his own guild (into which he then recruits Anya at gunpoint).

Kamen Rider:
Kamen Rider BLACK: Bishium is the only female among the High Priests. She dies in a failed attempt to kill the hero and herself at the same time. The male villains are all killed by Black.
Kamen Rider BLACK RX: Maribaron, the sole female antagonist, gets vaporized by Emperor Crisis for questioning his orders. Every other Golgom member, who are all males, gets killed by Kotaro.
Kamen Rider 555: Saeko Kageyama/Lobster Orphnoch, the sole female member of Lucky Clover, survives the series, albeit insane and the last of her humanity lost. Smart Lady, the mascot of Smart Brain, also survives.
Kamen Rider Wizard: Medusa, the sole female among the three greater Phantoms, survives her final battle with the female Kamen Rider Mage only to be killed by Bad Boss Wiseman/Sou Fueki, having outlived her usefulness to him. Averted in the film Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land, in which Wizard and Beast slay all three greater Phantoms in an Alternate Universe.

John Wick: John kills every male who slights him in any way during his quest to avenge the murder of his dog. Yet, when Ms. Perkins sneaks into his hotel room, attempts to assassinate him in his sleep, and intentionally re-injures his recently sutured side during their fight, John merely subdues and leaves her restrained with his friend Harry, to be released later in the day. This bites John in the ass when she kills both Harry and John's other friend Marcus.note  He does not kill her due to the rules the criminal underworld runs on throughout the franchise; key amongst them being "No business is to be conducted on Continental ground," i.e. killing. John shows no such restraint in John Wick: Chapter 2 or John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum after he's been excommunicated from the Continental.

Power Rangers Operation Overdrive: Miratrix and the Fearcat Crazar are the only female villains among the Big Bad Ensemble. While Crazar is killed by Tyzonn, Miratrix is imprisoned in a jewel by her master Kamdor in "Two Foes Down". Every male villain on the show is killed by the Rangers, with the exception of Moltar who dies at his brother Flurious's hands.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy: The game averts this trope with Alora, Tavion's own Dragon, since she will always die at Jaden Korr's hands, but plays it straight with Tavion: if you stay on the Light Side, Tavion will be possessed by the spirit of Marka Ragnos after beating her the first time, only to be killed by Possession Burnout once the Ragnos-possessed Tavion is defeated. Jaden Korr will kill Tavion if they turn to the Dark Side, but at that point they hardly qualify as a hero.

Ninja Scroll: Benisato isn't killed (or even defeated) by Jubei; after Kagero takes her captive, Yurimaru kills her remotely due to failing too many times. Jubei kills every other Devil of Kimon except (ironically) Yurimaru, who is killed by Zakuro, the other female member of the team.note  While Zakuro is killed by Jubei, he does it by letting her own bombs blow her up instead of chopping her to pieces with his sword.

Warrior Cats: The two main female villains, Mapleshade and Sleekwhisker, both survived their conflicts to continue plotting revenge on the Clans. Meanwhile, their male counterparts like Brokenstar, Tigerstar, Scourge, Hawkfrost, and Darktail, all get killed off at the hands of protagonists in their confrontations. Mapleshade is already dead when she first gets introduced in the main series (she dies in the prequel novella detailing her origin story) but she doesn't get killed again to be Deader than Dead like her male allies.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
The female vampire villains Drusilla and Harmony are either repeatedly spared or not pursued by the heroes. This is somewhat understandable for Harmony who is an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain. Not so much for Drusilla who has killed numerous people, including Buffy's friend and fellow Slayer Kendra.
Maggie Walsh is not only responsible for creating the monster Adam, but she also tries to have Buffy killed. Walsh is killed by her own creation rather than dying at Buffy's hands, though it is likely Buffy would have spared her anyway for being human. Adam, of course, is killed by Buffy.
Glory is female and the first Big Bad Buffy doesn't kill. This is somewhat justified by the fact that her human host, Ben, is an innocent person. That doesn't stop Giles from killing Ben to be rid of Glory when Buffy refuses to do the deed herself.

Justine Cooper slashes Wesley's throat and steals Angel's baby son so Holtz could take him away to a Hell dimension. She is last seen abandoned by Wesley to start a new life.
Eve helps Lindsey McDonald in his plan to demoralize Angel. While Lindsey is killed by Lorne, Eve is last seen fleeing to an uncertain fate as Wolfram & Hart collapses.
Angel also lets Harmony go after she betrayed him even though in the same episode he orders Lorne to kill Lindsey because he's not trustworthy.
