Women in Refrigerators is a site by comic book writer Gail Simone, created in March 1999, to list super-heroines who have been "either de-powered, raped, or cut up and stuck in the refrigerator" in an effort to illustrate that female superheroes are disproportionately likely to be brutalized in comic books, usually to further the character arc of male super heroes. It also spawned the infamous Women In Refrigerators meme, which has sparked a number of controversies regarding the subject.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) Women In Refrigerators is the Trope Namer for: Stuffed into the Fridge | |

| Women in Refrigerators (Website) / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The original criteria of "de-powered, raped, or cut up and stuck in the refrigerator" invert this, especially as de-powerings rarely are more than merely temporary and can serve to demonstrate that the de-powered character is good enough to succeed even without superpowers, as classically demonstrated by Storm of the X-Men. Some of the site's character list entries take this further by including things like "ceded name to a male superhero", "developed benign breast tumor", "revealed to be a clone, reverted to a more primal Atlantean form", and "needs major therapy" (what superhero doesn't?). | |

Disposable Woman: The site's character list does not include just superheroines, but also supporting characters who were hurt or killed in the course of superhero stories. It also includes some characters who were not actually killed, but retconned out of existence and one — Elastigirl — for being the only member of a killed-off group of superheroes who at the time (1999-2000) had not yet been brought back from the dead. | |
