* Deconstructed in ''Sir Callie'' by Esme Syme-Smith. In the kingdom of Helston, it's traditionally held that women can do magic while men fight, even though it's abundantly clear this is not the case and that most people have magic to varying degrees. To maintain that fiction, they bully, abuse, and ostracize anyone who doesn't fit the binary. Edwyn was abused and nearly killed by his father for showing magic, Prince Willow is in danger of losing the throne unless he can suppress his, Callie suppresses theirs because they feel it would make them a girl, and even women aren't allowed to fully master their magic for fear of being labeled "[[UnstablePoweredWoman a dangerous witch]]" and exiled.

Added the Land of Oz series to the Literature folder.
Added DiffLines:
* ''Literature/LandOfOz'': [[Main/AvertedTrope Averted]]. In this classic novel series by Creator/LFrankBaum, it's said that men can not be witches. That's why, for example, the Good Witches of the north and south and the Bad Witches of the east and west were all women. It turns out, however, that men can still become sorcerers or wizards, which is why [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz the first novel of the series]] had everyone believing that The Wizard of Oz really was more powerful than the four witches. This is likely due to the author's [[ContinuitySnarl casual approach to continuity]] rather than something he actually planned or thought through, but it still means that magic is '''not''' feminine in the land of Oz.

Changed line(s) 74 (click to see context) from:
* Only one warlock is seen in ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryCoven'', and viewers were left wondering what the status of male witches was and why there were none at Miss Robichaux's Academy. ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryApocalypse'' establishes that they have a separate school from the female witches, and that while some of them such as the head faculty are strong, warlocks are generally less powerful than female witches on average, with there never having been a male Supreme Witch (i.e. able to use all seven of the abilities known collectively as the Seven Wonders) so far. Myrtle Snow attributes it to testosterone impeding communion with the spirit realms.
