Women Are Wiser	comment	In some works of fiction, the female member(s) of a group, be it a married couple, siblings, True Companions, or the cast of characters in general, are portrayed as inherently better grounded than the male members: more rational, more reasonable, more level-headed and sensible, and often morally superior. This is most common in comedy but occasionally turns up in other genres. Note that this trope is not about any specific instance of individual female characters being particularly sensible, but about depictions in which female characters are automatically positioned as more levelheaded than their male counterparts. This is often not a net positive trope for the female characters themselves: while in some works it is invoked as an honest attempt to refute the trope Men Are Better Than Women, it often has the effect (especially in comedy) of shifting the burden of responsibility onto women for the actions of everyone around them as well as themselves. Men can be portrayed as undeserving of blame for making an interpersonal mistake or not knowing how to do a chore because women are supposedly just naturally better at that sort of thing. A common version of this is the widely held belief that girl children mature faster than boys, which can be used to excuse boys' behavior rather than to commend girls'. It can also pigeonhole them into being less interesting than their male counterparts, since they aren't allowed to be flawed to the same degree: for a classic example, if there's a single woman in a comedy, she will probably be the Straight Man, which often translates to her being the most boring character. The likelihood of this trope occurring is inversely linked to how many women are in the cast. More female characters mean they have to fill more roles outside of the Only Sane Woman, resulting in female characters who are just as insensible if not more so than the male characters. As a result, in a mostly female cast with only The One Guy, it will be incredibly unlikely that every female character will be wiser than the sole male. In advertisements, it's common for a woman to represent the advertiser's product, while a man represents the competition, or for women to be savvy consumers while men are Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket. The woman patiently explains or demonstrates the superiority of the advertiser's product to the clueless man. This has roots in the resurgence of the middle-class housewife role in the 1950s and '60s when advertisers knew they could sell more products by convincing women they were experts on consumerism, and to this day it is especially pronounced in cleaning product ads that air during the day and are targeted at housewives. In action-oriented works where both this trope and Men Are the Expendable Gender are in play, men will use violence in the "wrong way" or primarily to protect the "wiser" women. (See Force and Finesse or Scientist vs. Soldier.) A form of Double Standard, in that it holds women to an impossible ideal and depicts men as naturally stupider. Compare Females Are More Innocent, High-Heelâ€“Face Turn, Mother Nature, Father Science, Higher Education Is for Women, and Mars and Venus Gender Contrast; often overlaps with Dysfunctional Family, Sage Love Interest, and Men Are Childish. Often combined with Ugly Guy, Hot Wife, Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife, and with Henpecked Husband where the husband is then portrayed as deserving the henpecking. More than often enacted through a Right Way/Wrong Way Pair. Exaggerated, this can become Wet Blanket Wife. Contrast Hysterical Woman, Clingy Jealous Girl, Psycho Ex-Girlfriend, Woman Scorned, and My Beloved Smother. Opposite Trope to Men Are Better Than Women. It's often the outcome of a Gender Incompetence scenario. Note: No Real Life examples, please!

Women Are Wiser / int_12300cc3	comment	Laurie of Watchmen, also the only major female character in the main cast, is often the one with the most realistic and logical perspective. She is not bogged down with extreme views of justice like Rorschach is, holds a negative view on irrational behavior (such as Jon wanting to leave humanity to die and Dan's desire to help Rorschach in spite of his horrid behavior). On the other hand, she's also extremely stubborn and at times delusional, refusing to see the truth that the Comedian is her father when she had enough evidence and the detective skills to put it all together herself. She can also be weak-willed (her repeated attempts to quit smoking always end in failure).

In the backstory, Hippolyta and the Amazons were once enslaved by the demi-god Heracles and his men (sent by Ares in his war against Athena) and used as sex slaves.

Women Are Wiser / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance sort of fits this trope. Generally, Zoe and Gwynn are shown being nowhere near as stupid or crazy as Riff and Torg. However, Gwynn did, before getting possessed, tend to be about as reckless with her magic as Riff is with super-science, and both her and Zoe have had their Not So Above It All moments. It's more like Sluggy will have women's default state be Closer to Earth, but will have them descend into lunacy as well if it makes for a good joke. Eventually it turns into Zoe being the Only Sane Man among the cast, with Gwynn becoming almost as much a childish freeloader as Torg and Riff, except, in her case, she's also vain, vindictive, and, at times, manipulative, particularly in relationships, to the point that Hilarity Ensues (she gets better...). In the Sluggy Collection side-story, Riff and Torg get sucked into another dimension where they undergo a Gender Bender. Girl!Torg says she feels more on top of things now. So this trope is officially in force.

In the original 1818 edition Victor is cold, callous, and foolish, but his father Alphonse is the perfect father and his friend Clerval is the perfect youth, full of life and vibrance.

She also tends to be pretty self-important and stuck up. Cuddy, as the Team Mom, seems more sensible and moral than House. It just so happens that he generally turns out to be right. However, Wilson fills a fairly similar role to Cuddy despite being male, although he sometimes lets House get away with things due to being his friend or needs a telling off from Cuddy himself. After Cameron leaves House's team, the female doctors who wind up replacing her are this too. Thirteen and Adams (both of whom are accused of being Suspiciously Similar Substitutes to Cameron) are often the voice of moral outrage to House's insane treatment of his patients. In one episode, Cuddy seems annoyed when House doesn't have a female on his team, explaining that he needs one to keep a moral voice.

Women Are Wiser / int_22d87fc9	comment	Almost every relationship on That '70s Show is like this to a degree. Eric and Donna are the most obvious, while Kelso and Jackie are more a case of '"Do what I say and I'll sleep with you," as are Fez and Nina. Red and Kitty are a slight subversion, as she is shown to be far too idealistic and more easily misguided than the more cynical Red; not to mention a borderline Lady Drunk. Sometimes Eric is the more practical one, telling Donna that she should just tell him when she wants him to do or not do something rather than "hinting" (Translation: Lying) and saying that everything is okay. He calls her out on this several times but always seems to acknowledge the pointlessness of his actions. As time goes on though their relationship is on more equal footing. It was occasionally suggested that Mrs. Foreman was sometimes faking it to fulfill her social role. "You're making it really hard to pretend I don't know what you're talking about." Red and Kitty are almost an inversion, but they are at any rate far more down to earth than the rest of the cast. Hyde is definitely the most mature of the main group, although Donna might be considered more down to earth. I'm not sure this trope really applies, although it would if we only considered Eric/Donna and Kelso/Jackie, and the later instance only because Kelso makes anyone look competent in comparison.

Women Are Wiser / int_27831967	comment	Parks and Recreation: Played with. The women are more sensible than the men for the most part. Leslie Knope makes virtually all of the decisions (though not all of them are good choices) and is portrayed as the most effective member of the Department. Andy is a complete doofus (season one revolved around his breaking his leg while drunk and retrieving a toaster at the bottom of the pit) compared first with Ann (whom he is heavily dependent on). Tom is educated yet lacking in common sense (he fires a shotgun indiscriminately during a hunting trip) and Jerry is gullible (although most characters, male and female, take advantage of Jerry.) Andy's case becomes slightly more balanced after he gets together with April, who breaks from her usual apathy to become his co-conspirator in Cloudcuckooland. Being significantly younger than Andy, it occasionally falls on him to be the voice of reason and responsibility... in relative terms, anyway. Inverted occasionally by Ron who tends to be a little more down to earth than Leslie. He warns Leslie it is not her place to prevent Andy and April's wedding and also counsels other members of the Department when Lil' Sebastian goes missing. However, Ron still defers to Leslie's decision-making in most cases and requires her to intervene whenever his ex-wife Tammy arrives to manipulate him.

The latter is presented as the "good" alternative, and Sam Soto's transition from the former to the latter is presented as character development.

Women Are Wiser / int_2ba48a26	comment	Given an interesting twist in Castle in that it's Richard's daughter Alexis that's the most grounded one of the three generations living together, while Castle himself is a bedrock of common sense and maturity compared to his ex-wife and mother. Initially at least, the dynamic between Beckett and Castle played this fairly straight — Beckett was the sober, sensible, down-to-earth cop where Castle was the irresponsible, feckless playboy. In later seasons, however, there's been more of a balancing (or even an inversion at times); as Beckett's become increasingly obsessed with solving her mother's murder above all else, behaving increasingly reckless, irrational, and at times self-centred, Castle's become more of a voice of reason and willing to call her out whenever he thinks she's overstepped the line.

Also Helena and Valentine; Helena is intelligent, friendly, and mostly fair to everyone she meets. Valentine, while very likable, is rather scheming and often self-centered. This is shown again by the floating giant couple, whose balance keeps them in equilibrium; when they become uncoupled the female sinks into the ground while her mate helplessly floats away.

Women Are Wiser / int_3558eaa2	comment	Played for laughs in Community; Britta Perry often likes to think she's this trope, but she really, really, really isn't. Very explicitly parodied in "Digital Estate Planning". Britta mocks Jeff about how this is the difference between the two sexes- women don't "hack and slash through life." Cut to Annie and Shirley who are hiding a dead body and preparing to murder the rest of his family to cover their trail. (Note: This was in a video game, so it's not quite as horrible as it seems.)

Women Are Wiser / int_3b2359b0	comment	Creation Man And The Messiah by Henrik Wergeland runs on this trope. The entire human race is ensouled by a male spirit, Phun-Abiriel, who took abode in Adam because he wanted to rule a "lesser" world than the spiritual one, and a female spirit, Ohebiel, who likewise took abode in Eve. She did this because she feared that humanity would be utterly lost without her spiritual guidance. And true to form, the influence of Ohebiel serves to make humanity wiser and is possibly the route to salvation because this spiritual element is necessary for the spiritual development of Jesus when he becomes the saviour. Thus, the female part of the human soul is essential for humanity to survive.

Women Are Wiser / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Hermione is often portrayed as the most rational and level-headed member of the trio and is often exasperated at Harry and Ron for being more emotional and hot-headed. In the final book, Dumbledore even says he was counting on Hermione to rein in Harry's bad judgment when it came to going after the Deathly Hallows. Dumbledore notes in the annotations of The Tales of Beedle the Bard that no witch has ever been known to be the master of the elder wand and to, "make of that what you will". The implication is that he thinks women are too smart to either covet that power or to advertise that it's in their possession.

These three women orchestrate and allow Dante's descent through the afterlives even though he and Virgil frequently fail and need divine intervention to get through. Not only does Saint Lucia at one point need to carry Dante up Purgatory, but Beatrice spends nearly every canto of Paradiso admonishing Dante's flawed conceptions of God and correcting him with the help of the other saints.

Women Are Wiser / int_43b80edb	comment	Tweeny Witches: The society of the witches has flaws and issues, but they are definitely portrayed as morally superior compared to the warlocks, who are (mostly) Always Chaotic Evil Nazi analogs, and nearly every villain in the series is male — Grande is a hateful Evil Overlord, Sigma seems to be an Aloof Ally but is actually a manipulative Enfant Terrible, Tiana and Luca are bloodthirsty commanders, Lennon (though not a warlock) starts out as a ruthless pirate and a Sissy Villain, Jestor was a Mad Scientist in life and tries to destroy the world posthumously, and the Faceless Goons are cruel soldiers. The only witches to be villains are the incompetent special task force and two one-shot villains in The Adventures, the Ice Witch and Black Tohma; the former is a typical villain and not nearly as vile as Grande and Jestor while the latter is a sympathetic Enemy Without. Meanwhile, the only non-villainous named male characters are Jidan, the wizards Wil and Nito, Dragon, and a handful of one-shot The Adventures characters.

Women Are Wiser / int_468bebb0	comment	This is one of the primary differences between witches and wizards in Discworld, particularly in the way they use magic. Wizards tend to be flashy and theatrical and have a social structure based on academia; witches have more sensible, practical magic and more commonly take on the roles of local midwives or herbalists. Not just the witches and wizards. The women of the Discworld are almost invariably smart and down to earth. There is the occasional one-off ditz, but there are no 'comic loser' female main characters in the spirit of Rincewind or Nobby; even Magrat, perhaps the closest a Discworld heroine comes to subverting this trope, is still a highly skilled witch and badass in her own way once you get through the New Age satire. In a Nac Mac Feegle clan, it's the Kelda's job, as the only female, to do the thinking for the entire tribe since male Feegles aren't that good at it.note An implication being that in each clan, each gender gets a certain amount of intelligence and "smarts" that gets divvied up: since there's usually only one (or two, counting a daughter) women, the womenfolk keep it all, but since there are hundreds of son's and brothers to share their intelligence.... The trope is discussed and zigzagged in Monstrous Regiment. Whilst it's true that the day is ultimately saved by the efforts of the disguised female soldiers, it's also pointed out repeatedly, both explicitly and subtly, that women can be just as stupid, petty, and cruel as the men around them. This is particularly emphasized by the climatic reveal that over a third of the High Command are women, and they haven't done a thing to stop the Eternal War devastating their country.

One episode dealt with the Secret Service prostitute scandal with Samantha Bee claiming that this is because there are no women in the Secret Service who have a "civilizing" effect on men. Bee's speech is interrupted by fellow correspondent Jessica Williams who wants Samantha to get back to partying (apparently, both of them got pretty hammered and had some fun times the night before), completely subverting the speech.

Women Are Wiser / int_56e10d85	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium has a number of straight examples, from the Valar and downwards: Varda and Yavanna both seem to be epitomes of wisdom. So does Nienna, who actually is The Mentor of OlÃ³rin/Gandalf. On the Maia level, Melian comes out as the truly wise one, being the sane consultant of Thingol, and passing her wisdom on to LÃºthien. Melian also councels and guides TÃºrin, Beren, Morwen, and HÃºrin. She is also the one responsible for lifting the delusions HÃºrin has been victim to. Elvish women of wisdom counts Nerdanel, the wife of FÃ«anor, known for being the only one to actually restrain him when he went too far. For a time, at least. Idril is also worthy of mention here. She has premonitions about the fall of Gondolin, and orders an escape route built: which ultimately saves her family, and thus literally the entire world. Galadriel plays with this trope. She has an ability to perceive the minds and hearts of others, which would naturally fall under this trope. However, in her youth, she was nonetheless as brash and hotheaded as even the Sons of FÃ«anor, and openly joined the rebellion against the Valar with the rest of them because she desired lands of her own to rule. She remained in Middle-earth after the First Age because, as one of the leaders of the revolt, she wasn't allowed to sail into the West with the rest of the Noldor. That she ends up in the role of Melian come the Third Age — guiding and helping Elrond, Gandalf, Aragorn, Frodo, and Sam — is because her Heel Realization and spending millennia "fighting the long defeat" as penance for her actions have mellowed her considerably. It was only her refusal of the Ring (and essentially turning her back on the desire for power which led her to join the revolt of the Noldor) when freely offered it by Frodo that finally convinced the Valar to end her exile and allow her to return to Valinor. Though Tolkien has a number of wise men as well. Particularly of note is Finrod Felagund, older brother of Galadriel. When Humans first encountered him, they named him "NÃ³m" meaning "the wise" in their tongue. He acts as The Mentor to the BÃ«orians, and is a large part of the reason why humans develop a tradition of being elf-friends. Elendil, Turgon, Maglor, Elrond, Faramir and Sam also qualify. Thranduil, the Elvenking in The Hobbit, also plays with this trope. He does let his grief make him prejudiced against dwarves and a little bit greedy: but he is ultimately wise enough to avoid Thingol's embarrassing fate, and the gift of Orcrist to Erebor isn't just symbolic of his intention to be friendly from now on but also highly practical. Also there are several female subversions, particularly Aredhel the daughter of Fingolfin. She is tragically naive, and ends up in an abusive marriage. Morwen and her sister RÃan make some fantastically bad calls, with terrible consequences for their children. Emeldir and Ã‰owyn are less wise than they are brave. Erendis lets her marital problems prejudice her against all men, and teaches her daughter the same viewpoint: with some less than great repercussions for NÃºmenorean society. Human wise-women in the are rarer, but if one of them should be pointed out, it is Tar-Miriel, last queen of NÃºmenor. Also Andreth: who gets called "wise-heart" by Finrod Felagund. She is a prophetess and healer, well versed in esoteric lore. Lady Haleth is also notable for being both wise AND apparently enough of a Memetic Badass that there's a Rohirric Knight named after her. As a rule though, human women have a tendency to subvert the trope.

Hineman responds that it would be the most gifted of the three. When John asks her which one would that be, she smiles and says in an "of course" manner, "The female."

Women Are Wiser / int_5ce3fc86	comment	Soul Eater: Downplayed. Of the main males, Black Star is an arrogant jerk, Kid is mainly just an obsessed freak over symmetry, and Soul is snarky, impatient, and rude. The main females, Maka, Tsubaki, and Liz, are all practical, level-headed, intelligent, kind, and mature, for the most part; the only exception is Patty, who's a total dunce. Out of the villains, Medusa and Arachne are a lot more level-headed, calm and mature, whereas Crona, Giriko, and Asura are much more on the insane side. In the anime, Maka even outright kicks the male Final Boss Kishin Asura's ass all by herself and basically saves the world all by herself, while all the males get beaten by him. However, this does not translate to morally superior or more innocent — Medusa, and her sister Shaula from Soul Eater Not!, are a pair of sadistic Mad Scientist sisters who have no redeeming qualities (Medusa in particular being an abusive Evil Matriarch to Crona), and they are much worse morally than Asura, who has the excuse of being completely insane and thus unable to really control his actions.

Women Are Wiser / int_627b3897	comment	Debra and Ray Barone in Everybody Loves Raymond. The show began dumbing Ray down and making him borderline helpless (he was very smart and snarky in the earlier seasons) in order to pander to Debra's fans by using the Parenting the Husband trope. In other words, Ray was derailed in order to prop up the Debra character with this trope. Ironically though, it's not always a case of Debra being right, but her simply being louder, especially in the later seasons...however, the show often makes it clear that the audience is supposed to side with Debra and treat her as being super-intelligent, even though in practice she frequently makes big mistakes (forcing Ray to move across the street from Marie for instance), and despite the fact that she can be quite cruel and abusive. Somewhat inverted in one episode featuring Debra trying to get Ray to agree to couples counseling with the idea that she would try to get him to see her point of view. It ends up being the opposite when Ray starts to open up to the therapist, and Debra ends up being the one on the spot. And yes, she refuses to go do it again since the therapist didn't side with her...but again, the show tries to portray her as being 100% justified yet again.

Women Are Wiser / int_629cd094	comment	Bioware has avoided this in Dragon Age: Origins by making potential romantic partners you try to please: good boy, bad girl, good girl, bad boy (in the order you meet them). On the other hand, played absolutely straight with the Lady of the Forest a.k.a. Witherfang who is not only the Morality Chain for the entire werewolf race, but also the only one who doesn't advocate massacring either elves or werewolves. As opposed to the (male) werewolf field commander Swiftrunner and the (male) elven leader Zathrian, respectively. In fact, her solution to the Elf-Werewolf conflict is easily the most ethically correct one, with only two casualties: Zathrian and the Lady herself, both of whom die willingly in the end. Dragon Age II: The Legacy DLC subverts this, as Janeka, a female Grey Warden, while rude, is coherent, answers all questions asked of her succinctly as has clear plans for her actions, as opposed to the male Larius, whose half-corrupted by a taint and can barely speak a straight sentence. As it turns out, Janeka is being influenced by Corephyus, while Larius is able to resist the influence better. The outcome of the module, however, is strongly implied to be the same Downer Ending-slash-Sequel Hook, regardless of whom you supported.

There's even a Lampshade Hanging: The Dag is mourning the possibility of her child being an ugly Warlord, the Keeper rebates this simply by stating that "it could be a girl". This is somewhat downplayed as Max is the one who does a lot of the fighting before they meet the Vulvani because he's the only combatant besides Furiosa.

Of course, Sarah Jane Smith is more of a dependable mother figure than Chrissie and is a good mother to her own adopted son, so it's not like the show is devoid of a moral mother. Inverted again by Rani's parents. Gita is well-meaning and sweet, but she comes off as The Ditz, and the less said about how she handles her encounter with aliens, the better. Haresh is the grounded, reasonable but Stern Teacher and rock of the family, and in contrast to his wife, takes the alien encounter in stride and doesn't obsess over it.

Women Are Wiser / int_69fa7496	comment	Disney Ducks Comic Universe comics: A truly infuriating example of this trope occurred at one point when the creators of Paperinik decided to give him a Distaff Counterpart and thus gave Daisy Duck her own superhero identity of Paperinika. Naturally, a great deal of stories involved them working together. Unfortunately, not only did they end up constantly bickering and hating each other in their secret identities, which was annoying enough on its own, but every time they were together, Paperinik suddenly lost all competence and reverted to Jerkass bungling Donald Duck in a costume. Seeing as the whole point of Paperinik's creation was responding to fans' complaints that Donald was always a Butt-Monkey loser, the fans were not pleased with this development, leading to Italy axing Paperinika all together (though she is still used in the Brazilian comics). Paperinika made a comeback in the Ultraheroes storyline, where all the major Disney comics superheroes teamed up. This time, though, she's been written as even more incompetent than Donald when the two get together; mainly because she is so driven to prove herself Paperinik's equal that she worries about that more than the job at hand, and they end up bickering when they should be saving the day. In Paperinik New Adventures this was inverted: it was Paperinik and One that had to keep the angry, vicious Xadhoom in check(you know it bad when Donald Duck thinks you have a temper). Also Everett Ducklair, who despite having his own demons is still more well adjusted than his daughters and wife. Same goes for his two main employees, as Anymore is clearly more rational than Birgit.

Max is a Dumb Muscle Lovable Coward who can't swim despite being a lifeguard, Cookie is noted to be a little dense, Bernie is a clueless Defective Detective who only manages to "solve cases" by pointing out clues Flo has already found, while Gil is a pirate wannabe whose antics is typically regarded as an embarrassing LARP by his more level-headed wife, Barb. Among the bad guys, Flip is a buffoonish Minion with an F in Evil, Devon is a Narcissist, while Mr. Big himself is a Stupid Evil Card-Carrying Villain. The female characters, by comparison, are more proactive and better achievers overall. Flo is an all-capable heroine, and most of the businesses in DinerTown are run by the women, with Gil's Fish Shack and Norbert's Just Cruise Inn being the two exceptions out of 7 existing venues-.

Women Are Wiser / int_6d7c7f1c	comment	An interesting example from Something*Positive are Aubrey and Jason. From the comic's beginning, these two friends were both described as being mischievous pranksters, though Jason was the calmer and more rational one, while Aubrey was driven by whim and often abandoned hers halfway through. Both have undergone character development since then, but Aubrey's has been greater, arguably making her slightly more level-headed. (They're also married now, incidentally.) They're just about even now, really. While both are mischievous, Jason's pranks were always much more thought out, with backup plans in place should anything go wrong. When he wrote Nailed, he knew full well it was crap, but the whole thing was a giant Batman Gambit so he'd get laid. Aubrey was always running with the first idea that came to mind, which led to her being banned from public access television. She has had greater character arcs, but quantity alone doesn't give her a leg up. Davan vetoes the production of a play where the writer presents women as the only hope of mankind, wearing a sun-patterned robe among grey-robed men (and throws a tantrum when she learns about it, begging the Earth Mother to swallow him).

Omar's wife Sofia seems like a reasonable and down-to-earth woman with a religiously moderate and Westernized cultural outlook, but she's actually fully aware of her husband's intention to martyr himself for Islam and does not seem to have much issue with being left a widow with a young son. She even smiles proudly when he declares he's about to "take his team up to the top floor", i.e, perform a suicide bombing. Critics found this to be unrealistic, but the filmmakers asserted that real life terrorists often have remarkably stable home lives, and their widows even usually support what their deceased husbands have done.

Whilst it's true that the day is ultimately saved by the efforts of the disguised female soldiers, it's also pointed out repeatedly, both explicitly and subtly, that women can be just as stupid, petty, and cruel as the men around them.

Both of them are shown to be smarter, sneakier, and more focused than the other JÃ¤gers. Gkika fulfills this trope to a slightly lesser degree, as JÃ¤ger generals are by definition wiser and more grounded than the average JÃ¤germonster. While she is definitely wiser than 99% of the JÃ¤ger population, she is not portrayed as any more or less Ax-Crazy and intelligent than her fellow generals (all of whom are male). Jenka, however, plays the role to a T: when we first meet her, her job appears to be tracking Da Boyz down and getting them out of whatever trouble their antics have gotten them into. She appears to be on par with the generals intellectually, to the point where she can pass as human and act as Mechanicsburg's political ambassador. She can even hide her accent.

Most females are high-spirited and extremely kind and adorable, while most males are somewhat arrogant Jerks With A Heart Of Gold. A handful of exceptions exist (Meiling, Ruby Moon, and Yukito). But a few of the females (particularly Sakura) are also suggested to be somewhat ditzy and naive in tone though given most of their ages this could be considered realistic. The Big Bad, Eriol, is also male, but he is not exactly evil so much as he is a Stealth Mentor with rather extreme methods.

Nina also tends to be more emotionally erratic than George, who's generally the Only Sane Man in the setting (though they both act as the other's moral compass on occasion, George tends to be more honest about it.) Played straight-er with Mitchell, who starts losing control of his life as of the end of season one and never really quite gets it back.

Women Are Wiser / int_8dfbdff2	comment	The first episode of Law & Order featuring Jack McCoy raises this trope; McCoy and Claire Kincaid are going after a female doctor who has been selling an All-Natural Snake Oil Spice Rack Panacea as a breast cancer cure, with the result that a woman has died. Claire expresses reluctance to pursue the matter criminally, arguing that the doctor is still engaging in research to cure breast cancer. McCoy argues that the doctor's still conning her patients by trying to sell them what she doesn't have and putting their lives at risk, and then bluntly accuses Claire of subscribing to this trope, suggesting that if the doctor had been a man Claire would be the first and most eager person calling for the criminal case. The rest of the episode also touches on this in that the doctor is very contemptuous of male-dominated medical practices which treat the women with patronising dismissiveness; McCoy notes, however, that while this may be the case the male-dominated medical practices are at least keeping women alive, which is more than she's doing.

Metis is loyal to Aigis above all else and doesn't mention what will happen to the losers in the Colosseo Purgatorio until it's too late. Aigis and Fuuka remain neutral at first and only commit to a decision just before facing Yukari and Mitsuru. Surprisingly, Junpei, of all people, ends up being the Only Sane Man in this debacle. Persona 4: When the Investigation Team is considering killing Namatame for his role in Nanako's apparent death, the girls of the group are the most opposed to it, although they'll reluctantly give in if Yu fails to convince Yosuke not to do it.

Meanwhile, the heroic faction has only two men, Shozo Tadokoro and Balance T. Moid, and the latter is the true villain of the series who, unlike every other villain, is portrayed as pure evil, making Shozo the only male who does not start out as a villain or Anti-Villain.

Women Are Wiser / int_99055407	comment	Played straight with Carl from Family Matters. For example, in one episode, Carl claims he doesn't need help with cooking equipment, against Harriet's advice. Before the scene is over, the griller outside accidentally crashes into the house. Basically, Harriet is right and Carl is wrong, you get the picture. One episode has Carl actually give Harriet good advice: don't leave your ring near the sink. She ignores it, and then a bit later believes she's knocked the ring down the drain. Carl reveals instead that he moved her ring somewhere safer... and then he fumbles it and it goes down the drain. His advice is therefore nullified and the episode can conclude with Harriet delivering her usual "Carl, you moron" expression. Meanwhile, among the younger generation, Laura is both smart and sensible, while Urkel is brilliant but socially incompetent, and Eddie and Waldo are just dense all around.

Enforced by Athena in Wonder Woman (1987). In the backstory, Hippolyta and the Amazons were once enslaved by the demi-god Heracles and his men (sent by Ares in his war against Athena) and used as sex slaves. Athena freed Hippolyta on the condition that the Amazons would not seek revenge, but Heracles escaped anyway.

Women Are Wiser / int_9a1a8272	comment	Odd Squad: This trope is played straight often to the point where it's nearly enforced. Girls are often portrayed as being superior to boys to some degree or another due to the show's theme of diversity and equality, which means pushing past gender norms. This includes adult characters as well — while a majority of guys are useless, some have been shown to be intelligent. Olive is the more experienced agent between her and Otto, while he's a Cloudcuckoolander. Oprah is more levelheaded and strict compared to Oscar, a scatterbrained Genius Ditz. Downplayed with Otis and Olympia, Olive and Otto's respective replacements in Season 2. Otis is more serious and on-the-ball compared to Olympia, but she's an Odd Squad historian and definitely is not without her intelligent moments. In Season 3, the trope is played straight for Omar, who is The Ditz and is generally less smart than Opal, Osmerelda Kim, and Orla. In the Season 2 episode "The Ninja Situation", Pearl Yum-Yum is portrayed as being leagues above her brother Earl in terms of competence. Omaha, an agent of Precinct 13577 introduced in Season 2's "Shapely University", is more nervous and irrational than his partner Olena. "Total Zeroes" zigzags this trope. Brother Zero is shown being mostly incompetent and not wanting to engage in villainy, in contrast to Sister Zero, who is more wise but actively wants to perform villainous misdeeds and becomes Drunk on the Dark Side because of it. Of course, since being a villain is generally frowned upon in the world of Odd Squad, Brother Zero comes off as more rational and smart than his sister.

Women Are Wiser / int_9a7a61a	comment	Amy in Sonic the Comic was made into The Lancer with Improbable Aiming Skills due to Executive Meddling. She had few flaws compared to her very flawed male counterparts, and Tekno (another thoroughly competent female character). Ironically her initial persona was surprisingly close to the lovesick Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass Amy of the later games. While Amy herself is a much more abrasive character in the American Sonic comics, it plays this straight with a fair few other characters. Sally and Bunnie are usually more rational and Closer to Earth than many male Freedom Fighters, who are often harbored by significant flaws like arrogance or temper issues, meanwhile the female leads' shortcomings are often more minor or down to circumstance than deep personality issues (e.g. Bunnie's robotization, Sally's responsibilities as leader and monarch). Julie Su leans less into this vein, more or less acting as a Distaff Counterpart to Knuckles, though is still slightly more rational than him.

The arc of the film is mostly about Ben settling down to become worthy of Alison. The trope is deconstructed by the Beta Couple, who resemble the Alpha Couple.

While Lois is unarguably the head of the family and certainly more competent and savvy about parenting and keeping house than Hal, it is made clear that it's more due to her authoritarian parenting, not wisdom. While Hal is most definitely a Bumbling Dad, Lois is a Knight Templar Parent, a Manipulative Bastard with a Hair-Trigger Temper, and is usually loud, irrational, pig-headed, and tactless and needs Hal to talk her down as frequently as he needs her to talk him down from his Zany Schemes and emotional meltdowns. Notably, the parent that almost all of the boys trying to reconcile their complicated feelings of resentment and deference towards is Lois, and not Hal who is regarded more or less as harmless. The lack of a "normal" parent is part of what makes the show's rather extreme portrayal of a Dysfunctional Family so much easier to swallow than it would be if one half of the main couple was sane.

Cersei's only saving grace is her Mama Bear attitude towards her children but is overshadowed by her atrocious actions. In the TV show, she has a slightly more sympathetic portrayal, as some of her most evil acts in the book are performed by Joffrey instead.

Women Are Wiser / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Nami, the navigator of the Straw Hat pirates often has to express common sense, since few of her crewmembers, especially her captain Luffy, possess it. On the other hand, Nami has her own blind spots (such as the promise of wealth) and has to be reeled in by the others in turn. Robin, in turn, possesses common sense in spades and lacks the quirks (Robin has her own quirks too, they're just fairly subtle compared to the others') and Berserk Button tendencies that Nami has. She tends to stay cool and collected in almost any situation, even when her captain has them haring off on some utterly ridiculous course on a whim. The major difference between her and Nami is that, while Nami tends to try to show the rest of the group how ludicrous their actions are (sometimes coming off as the Only Sane Woman), Robin is perfectly content to sit back, smile, and read a book while Luffy makes plans to blast the ship and crew into the sky. There is a standing rule in the series that Robin is the only character who is never given exaggerated or cartoony facial expressions. The rest of the crew will often have extreme reactions to whatever insanity they come across, but she maintains the same placid expression. This is less to show her as reasonable and more to emphasize her role as a detached-to-a-fault intellectual. Except on the rare occasions when she does show strong emotion. A Running Gag is that when Franky reveals a new silly contraption of his, the nearby boys (or grown-up men boyish at heart) will turn into overly eager fanboys with stars in their eyes, while Nami, Robin, and other nearby female (child or adult) will give a Disapproving Look or Death Glare to show that they certainly are above fooling around with weird, flashy (and often not practical) technology. Regarding the Vinsmoke Big, Screwed-Up Family, only three members have more or less working moral compasses and show genuine compassion towards other people. Two of them are women: the dead matriarch Sora and the only daughter Reiju. The third one? The third-born son, Sanji.

There are two fairies, Tatl and Tael, brother and sister, respectively. Tatl is the one who accompanies Link, but she's whiny, flighty, and can be downright unhelpful and sarcastic. Tael, while he never joins the party, is practical and gives good advice about summoning the four guardians. He also volunteers to go with Link to the moon until Tatl goes instead. It's worth noting however that Zelda is the one that made the rash decision to send Link after the Master Sword, inadvertently allowing Ganondorf to get his hands on the Triforce,

Myrcella perfectly balances her siblings' most defining traits. She's assertive, but not to the point of being a cruel asshole like Joffrey. She's kind and passionate, but not to the point of being a pushover like Tommen. She's also the only one shown to figure out her true parentage on her own. Unfortunately, despite this making her the Baratheon sibling who would be the best ruler, the fact she's a woman actually puts her last in the succession.

Women Are Wiser / int_b3933a70	comment	Tim and Jill Taylor in Home Improvement, especially in the earlier seasons. This was softened a bit as the series went on, and Jill had several of her own moments of incompetence. For example, when Al's mother passed away, Jill's advice only makes things worse while Tim is more comforting and practical. One episode ended with both of them realizing they were wrong. It involved Tim forgetting to do something, and the episode had both of them blaming the other for it. Jill left him a lot of clues and hints but, after talking to Wilson, realized she never actually outright told Tim to do it (and after so many years of marriage, she should know that he's not big on clues). Despite Jill realizing she was wrong, only Tim apologized; Jill played it off as if she had been right all along, and thus this trope was preserved.

However this is more of a subversion as Andy thinks she is closer to earth but upon closer inspection of her character is actually no better or worse than the rest of her family. Her own flaws are that she's fearful and overreactive of entertainment media, occasionally hypocritical, misinterprets her kids' character, and refuses to turn up the heater in the winter. Oh yes, and the cooking. Paige also tends to be a stereotypical ditzy, shallow teenager, obsessed with dating and going to the mall.

Women Are Wiser / int_b4967d43	comment	Maintained for the large part in Sonic the Hedgehog: In Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), most of the female characters have far less overwhelming personality defects than the male cast and usually act as the voice of reason for their male comrades. This is especially obvious for Sally, who lost even the key flaws she had in SatAm (see below) to become an overly versatile and collected foil to the far more arrogant and hot-tempered Sonic. Amy in Sonic the Comic was made into The Lancer with Improbable Aiming Skills due to Executive Meddling. She had few flaws compared to her very flawed male counterparts, and Tekno (another thoroughly competent female character). Ironically her initial persona was surprisingly close to the lovesick Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass Amy of the later games. While Amy herself is a much more abrasive character in the American Sonic comics, it plays this straight with a fair few other characters. Sally and Bunnie are usually more rational and Closer to Earth than many male Freedom Fighters, who are often harbored by significant flaws like arrogance or temper issues, meanwhile the female leads' shortcomings are often more minor or down to circumstance than deep personality issues (e.g. Bunnie's robotization, Sally's responsibilities as leader and monarch). Julie Su leans less into this vein, more or less acting as a Distaff Counterpart to Knuckles, though is still slightly more rational than him.

Women Are Wiser / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who itself tends to go backwards and forwards on this depending on the era of the show you're watching: Avoided during the majority of William Hartnell's era, where most male-female companion teams (Ian and Barbara, Vicki and Steven, Steven and Dodo) were either equals in wisdom or were both intelligent in radically different ways, but hit hard with Ben and Polly - they have the running gag that they disagree on virtually everything and that whenever they do, Ben is wrong and Polly is right. Troughton's second male-female team, Jamie and Victoria, is a bit more balanced, as both are fairly brave and while Victoria is cleverer and more insightful, Jamie is more wary and cunning, and they both look after each other depending on who has the upper hand. His third, Jamie and Zoe, portrays Jamie as somewhere between Fearless Fool and Cloud Cuckoo Lander with him getting a comedy bit about his stupidity Once an Episode, while Zoe is an Impossible Genius who treats Jamie with condescension and can talk to the Doctor as an equal. In "The Hand of Fear", Eldrad's female incarnation is manipulative, communicative, and able to be reasoned with, despite her murderous impulses. The Doctor even seems quite fond of her, which Sarah jokes about. Upon regenerating into a male body, Eldrad turns into an idiotic, yowling, uncreative maniac with embarrassingly predictable emotions who is eventually defeated by tripping him up. Subverted with Rose and Mickey. At first, we see Rose as being brave, kind, and able to stand up to the Doctor while Mickey is a comedy Dirty Coward and hopelessly ill-fit for the Doctor's lifestyle, and the Doctor treats them both with this attitude. Mickey soon demonstrates extreme intelligence in some ways (such as hacking skills) despite the Doctor's continuing condescension. By the second series, he's mostly demonstrating a brave and mature side we had previously missed, and the Doctor realises he underestimated him enormously. Around the same time, we also start to see a slightly harsher side to Rose; the longer she travels with the Doctor, the more she becomes rather selfish, smug, and codependent with him. Steven Moffat's tenure has shown a particular tendency towards this trope due to his background in Mars and Venus Gender Contrast Sex Comedy and enjoyment of a World of Snark — just look at the Cloudcuckoolanderish Eleventh Doctor compared with Amy, River, and Clara, for example. An even clearer example is Vastra, Jenny, and Strax - Vastra makes sexist comments about the innate stupidity of men and is an elegant genius who claims to be the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes, while the only man on the team (Strax) is The Ditz and doesn't understand concepts like biological sex or that not every problem can be solved by invading the source with an army. In "The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe", only Madge Arwell, a 1930s housewife, is considered "strong" enough by the sentient forest to carry their life force. When the Doctor finally figures out why: In "Robot of Sherwood", the Doctor and Robin Hood spend the entire episode yelling at each other like children. Clara spends most of the episode trying to keep them calm and focused on the threat of the week (except at the very beginning before she knew there was a threat). It's to the point that when the three get captured, a guard arrives to take the rebel leader to see the Sheriff. While the Doctor and Robin are arguing over which of them is obviously the leader, Clara just lets the guard unlock her shackles and leaves with him. In "Deep Breath", Vastra is shown to be able to send the Doctor immediately to sleep just by touching his head. Pleased with herself, she says "I love monkeys, they're so funny" - when Jenny calls her out on calling humans 'monkeys', Vastra responds that people are apes and men are monkeys. Never mind that the Doctor is a member of a powerfully psychic race and usually in reasonable command of his powers, Vastra can beat him entirely by virtue of being a woman.note The Doctor was completely out of it mentally, which probably didnâ€™t help his psychic defenses. Vastraâ€™s mind, on the other hand, was powerful, trained, and prepared. In "Kill the Moon", the three humans the Doctor leaves to make the crucial decision that may affect the future of the human race are all female. When Clara suggests calling the President of the United States instead, it's mentioned that the President is female too. Gender-flipped at the end of the episode when Danny Pink provides the traditional female comforting role and Clara asks him how he became so wise. With regards to Moffat, note also how Missy, his version of the Master, is both the only female incarnation of the character and the only one to seriously come close to performing a Heelâ€“Face Turn.

In this show's take, the all-male planet develops into a paranoid fascist dictatorship, while the all-female planet is a constitutional democracy. However, it shows the men of their planet having few resources surviving in a harsh unforgiving world by using what they have sparingly and not being afraid to depend on each other, whereas the women inhabit a planet rich in resources, but are morally and socially deficient, constantly trying to one-up each other and waste the plentiful resources they have frivolously. Overall, both societies are corrupt, just in different ways.

Women Are Wiser / int_d66befd3	comment	Subverted in Little Howard's Big Question, in which Mother is the main duo's mother figure and provides Infodumps on the subject of the week, thus initially seeming like the down-to-earth sitcom mother to the viewer. However, she is actually prone to moments of complete insanity, like kidnapping and torturing Big Howard's MacBook out of jealousy, and despite being the most book-smart person in the cast she has little common sense and almost no grip on reality.

Women Are Wiser / int_d7217e8	comment	In Lucifer, the titular character creates a new universe and populates it with a single man and woman. He tries to convince them to act according to their desires and worship no one, not even him. In subverting the traditional Adam and Eve story, it plays this trope straight: here, it is the man who falls from grace and brings the woman down with him. The man decides that desire is evil, posits the existence of a greater creator beyond Lucifer, and decides to flagellate himself and dedicate his suffering to that creator. Lucifer destroys him as a flawed creation; the woman chooses to join him in death rather than accept a newly-created companion.

Most of the male Hashira immediately call for Tanjiro's execution, except for Muichiro, who barely says anything, and Giyu (who met Tanjiro two years ago and knows of his situation). As for the females, Shinobu is willing to listen to Tanjiro's side of the story, while Mitsuri, who's also sympathetic to Tanjiro, reasonably points out that it wouldn't be a good idea to hold the trial without the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps present.

Christopher is this to his wife Victoria as well. The only couple this was played straight with was Lydia and her season 1 and 2 boyfriend Jackson.

During the funeral for Tohru's mother, Kakeru had the gall to tell Tohru off for openly grieving over Kyoko's death, telling her she's sickening and whiny for doing so and acting like she was the only one affected, especially since Komaki's father was the one who hit Kyoko and also died in the accident. In his point of view, he was just being a good boyfriend and sticking up for Komaki, only to discover the hard way that Komaki didn't feel the same way he did; in fact, she was outraged at his Lack of Empathy and read him the riot act for disrespecting Tohru's feelings. Her words cause Kakeru to suffer a Jerkass Realization, and he spends years kicking himself over it before finally apologizing to Tohru.

As it turns out, Janeka is being influenced by Corephyus, while Larius is able to resist the influence better. The outcome of the module, however, is strongly implied to be the same Downer Ending-slash-Sequel Hook, regardless of whom you supported.

Women Are Wiser / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: We only saw Buffy's father a handful of times in the early seasons, but what little we did see of him indicated he was a genuinely caring, loving father to Buffy whose marriage to Joyce simply broke down, apparently not entirely the fault of either party. In later seasons, this appeared to be retconned to make her father a heartless bastard who ran off with his secretary to Spain and didn't care about his daughters or even about the fact that his ex-wife was dying, apparently solely because of this trope. Some of the relationships with male characters seem to reverse this. Xander was definitely more practical than Cordelia when they were dating, though it didn't really come up. He was also usually the sane one with Anya; this was irrelevant other than for her role as comic relief. (For example, unlike him, she had no visible need for a job, residence, or means of support for over a year - until she started acquiring them.) Oz was borderline more "together" than Willow at first, and Jenny Calendar was attracted to Giles as somebody firmly rooted. Still, when everybody gets their doses of trauma, the female characters tend to develop along the lines of this trope, while males are more prone to break down, often in directions that induce more pain for the females. This seems to be especially true for the most minor characters. The characters most frequently portrayed as wise and centered — and possibly the only main characters who didn't implode fearsomely at least once — are Giles and Tara.

While the girls ask serious questions like "how do I ensure nobody uses my menstrual blood in a ritual", the boys' questions are more like "can boobs pop if you squeeze them too hard" and "is it possible to screw a mermaid".

Women Are Wiser / int_ec02633a	comment	In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cerys an Craite is the only female claimant to the throne of Skellige. If she becomes queen, she proves to be a very calm, level-headed, and diplomatic ruler, and under her rule, Skellige's economy thrives but it also leads to a decline in their raiding warrior culture. By contrast, her brother, Hjalmar is Hot-Blooded and not too bright, so he neglects the day-to-day running of Skellige if he becomes king, but the Skelligans don't really mind because he's also a badass warrior king who's favoured by the gods and constantly leading them to bigger and more badass battles with Nilfgaard, filling their longships with more and more plunder each time, i.e, he's the perfect king for Skellige - in some possible endings, Hjalmar manages to unite the clans and actually succeeds in kicking their black-plated arses back down south. Could count as Subverted Trope.

Women Are Wiser / int_f0a86c12	comment	How I Met Your Mother vacillates on this with the Lily-Marshall relationship. Marshall is such a massive goofball that Lily often can't help but look closer to earth, merely by default. But part of the reason Marshall loves Lily so much is that she can be every bit as silly and crude as he is. At Marshall's wedding, he revealed that he once held a farting contest with Lily. One of the reasons they make an entertaining couple is that they're each Closer to Earth than the other in different areas (e.g., Lily is brash, impulsive, and prone to moronic schemes, Marshall is neurotic, hysterical, and has many eccentricities), so both of them get to play the Wacky Guy and the Straight Man at different times. On occasion, the Marshall and Lily relationship can invert this trope. Marshall is the most inherently kind and compassionate member of the gang. But every once in a while Lily will display a shallow, selfish, or manipulative streak.

Women Are Wiser / int_f655ed11	comment	Played with on Frasier. Daphne appears to be far more sensible than the Crane Brothers but only because much is made of their snobbery. Taken on her own, Daphne shows many signs of eccentricity such as her sunny retellings of childhood traumas or her self-described psychic abilities, making Martin and Roz the sanest of the cast. When she gets together with Niles, both are portrayed as intelligent reasonable people for whom any bizarre behavior is often justified. Subverted big time however with the boys' earlier wives. While Niles and Frasier can both be extremely neurotic and snobby, both are still shown as good-hearted compassionate individuals. Their wives, however, are not. Frasier had Diane, a Cloudcuckoolander of epic proportions, and Lilith, whom Niles accurately described as the coldest thing in nature (although the show did treat her more sympathetically as it went on). Maris, meanwhile, was absolutely horrible to Niles and threw him out the second he stood up for himself, as well as just being a generally unpleasant woman.
