** In at least one other episode he tries to portray himself as a protector of women from unwanted harassment. His bandmates call him on just trying to WhiteKnight his way into their pants and remind him that they KNOW he is a mysogynst despite his attempts to demonstrate otherwise (they are in fact correct).

** It's more likely that Rorschach suffers from a madonna/whore complex, which is used to describe a disturbed male state of mind that views women as either innocent, pure, and nurturing or depraved and sexually filthy. Rorschach never actually met Kitty Genovese, his first motivator for becoming a vigilante, so he could project an ideal onto her to fill the gap, while the victim in the case that sent him over the edge (Blair Roche) was a seven-year-old girl, which makes her innocent by default. This interpretation can be supported by the fact that he similarly projects an ideal on his unknown ''father'' as well- while it's obviously not part of his madonna/whore complex, it still shows that he has a tendency to build up false images of people he has never met in order to categorize them into his polarized worldview. Everything in Rorschach's mind falls into either one category or the other, and he is incapable of understanding anything in between... which kind of fits, given that he's a commentary on TheQuestion from when Ditko was ''very'' big into Objectivism.

* "Macho Insecurity" by DeadKennedys

** "Bitches Ain't Shit" by Dr Dre being one of the most egregious examples.

** The only woman he generally loved was a Japanese nurse named Mihiko he developed a relationship with her after the end of World War II and since soldiers were not allowed to have relationships with the locals they hid their love, and he was generally sad when his fleet took off and tried to delay them as long as possible, years later he they reconciled and he apologized for his actions but he unknowingly fathered a son with her Junichiro and it took quite a bit of his trust to accept him as a father.

* Wu-Fei Chang of ''GundamWing'' held women in deep, deep contempt, considering them weak and inferior. Though his attitude softens ''a bit'' after working along side {{Action Girl}}s Sally Po and Lucrecia Noin.

* Hunter of ''CodeNameHunter''. Flashback comics have implied that Hunter was a severe gynophobe, to the point where his inability to work with female agents was threatening his job. Current comics show that he got better (implied to be due to being forced to pair with Gypsy - they were each other's last chance). Now he's simply [[TwiceShy painfully shy]] around women who aren't Gypsy.

* Gordon Bennet from TheWarComms is a parody of this trope. His [[StalkerWithACrush admirer]] Patrick Wells is a lighter version, falling more into GirlsHaveCooties due to his immaturity.

** It's worth noting that in Earthsea, women in general and witches in particular are considered suspect. Wizards are celibate because they fear contamination from women.

The TropeNamer in this case is ''TheLittleRascals''[[hottip:* :Who aren't actually an example of this trope]], who (with the obvious exception of Darla) held meetings of the "He-Man Woman Haters Club" in their treehouse.

The (partial) SpearCounterpart to DoesNotLikeMen, [[DoubleStandard except portrayed much less sympathetically]]. When one of a character's major defining traits is his hatred of women. Usually portrayed not just as mere sexism, but [[StrawMisogynist unreasoning hate of women]]. The DepravedHomosexual rarely exhibits this trait (this is the usual department of the CampGay and it's played for laughs).

In any way, there's quite the DoubleStandard here: women who don't like men will more often than not be portrayed sympathetically, but this will rarely happen with their {{Spear Counterpart}}s. Consequently, {{He Man Woman Hater}}s are very often (but not always) {{Straw Misogynist}}s while their {{Distaff Counterpart}}s are much less likely to be {{Straw Feminist}}s. Of course, this may be justified, since women who don't like men have rarely had any power in history to do anything to them, making their hatred relatively harmless for real-life male viewers -- whereas men who don't like women have...

* The Kill Bill version of Pei Mei was said to hate women, although it's apparent that Beatrix Kiddo was an exception.

* Arguably, a lot of GangstaRap...

* Leo, a former GiantMook who underwent a pseudo HeelFaceTurn in the {{Western}} {{Shojo}} manga ''{{Miriam}}'', dislikes women so much he's practically enraged when one so much as ''talks'' to him. Miriam constructs an elaborate imaginary backstory for him that, in her mind, would excuse his behavior, which involves several groups of women (his sisters, his female co-workers, his sisters-in-law, etc.) taking advantage of him for his entire life. While her story is farfetched, his attempts at explaining himself, which amount to "they're noisy, and if you deal with them, they cry, and you still can't fight them..." suggest ''something'' along those lines might've actually happened to him, even though he's never been married and doesn't have any sisters.
