* A very rare superhero / mythology subversion from [[TheMightyThor Thor #300]]: after discovering that [[CosmicEntity The Celestials]] were going to judge the worth of humanity in 1000 years, the male leaders of the [[PhysicalGod gods of Earth]], convinced this was going to end badly, planned to fight them. However the female leaders decided to instead prove humanity's worth by gathering the best example of each human skill or art and making them immortal. Sure enough, when the Norse gods attack them (it was not explained why ALL the pantheons didn't attack together, not that it would have made much difference) they get [[CurbStomp curbstomped]].

* The Freudian superhero team of Id, Superego, and Ego in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''. Superego is a woman who peacefully resolves conflict with an enemy. The others are male monsters that smash things up.

* Averted by the Doctor in ''Series/DoctorWho''. Sometimes inverted when he has an ActionGirl companion like Leela or Ace.
* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]]: "I wasn't gonna use violence. I don't always use violence. Do I?"
-->'''Xander:''' "The important thing is ''you'' believe that."
* Flat-out inverted in ''[[LegendOfHeroesVI Trails in the Sky]]''. Joshua is the one with the "silver tongue" (as Estelle pointed out), while Estelle would rather beat people up with her staff.
* In the episode "Romeo Must Wed" from ''TheProudFamily'', Penny developed a crush on Kwok while rehearsing for their school's production of Romeo & Juliet. After a while, Kwok's parents, the Wongs, politely asked Penny's parents, Oscar and Trudy, that they not allow Penny and Kwok to see each other anymore. While Trudy remained civil in her inquiry, Oscar immediately jumped to conclusions, thinking that the Wongs didn't approve of their son having a relationship with Penny because she wasn't "good enough" for them. This prompted both Oscar and Mr. Wong to imply the other was a racist. It turned out the [[MistakenForRacist real reason]] was that Kwok had an arranged bride, who was coming to town for a visit.
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' suggests that the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy krogan]] work this way, although we only meet one female krogan in the entire series due to genophage-induced GenderRarityValue. It's also a relative value, since the first thing we see her do under her own power is gun down two enemy soldiers without a second thought.
** Made more obvious during the Tuchanka mission. During a meeting, some of the Krogan begin to squabble and appear seconds away from tearing each other limb from limb, only for "Eve" to appear, immediately order ''everyone'' to shut the hell up, before convincing them to work together.
** Eve admits that after the Genophage is cured, the Krogan women are going to gain a more political clout in their society and hints that they are also not above using a LysistrataGambit to keep the men in line and attempt to curb the worst of their BloodKnight tencendies.
** Mordin relates that the first time he met Eve, she was in great pain and clearly distraught by her ordeal as one of [[MadScientist Maelon's]] experiments. While he was treating her injuries, she managed to break out of one of her restraints and grabbed him. She could have easily killed him... but instead, all she said was, "''[[TearJerker Please]]''". This small act of kindness made Mordin regain his faith in the Krogan and vow to cure the genophage.

The main bulk of any narrative is that whatever conflict exists gets resolved, in either the hero's or villain's way. An action show would typically showcase some form of violence as a method of solving conflict, while a more dialogue based show would showcase a form of compromise to have it resolved. Though there's a mindset out there that dictates that the process of conflict resolution is usually based on gender, with men being associated with violence and aggression and women being aligned with reason and this is applied ''regardless'' of what the show's genre is, which results in any of the following scenarios:
* Men getting praised for using either violence or reason, and women getting booed at for not using the latter.
* Women being lauded regardless of what method of conflict resolution is being used, and men being considered pansies unless they solely focus on using violence.
* Violent men putting a permanent end to the conflict, while reasonable women, for all the mudslinging and underhanded tactics that they use, end up prolonging the feud, sometimes to the point where it goes on forever. The scenario that's most likely to be considered offensive.

* In the episode "Romeo Must Wed" from ''TheProudFamily'', Penny developed a crush on Kwok while rehearsing for their school's production of Romeo & Juliet. After a while, Kwok's parents, the Wongs, politely asked Penny's parents, Oscar and Trudy, that they not allow Penny and Kwok to see each other anymore. While Trudy remained civil in her inquiry, Oscar immediately jumped to conclusions, thinking that the Wongs didn't approve of their son having a relationship with Penny because she wasn't "good enough" for them. This prompted both Oscar and Mr. Wong to imply the other was a racist. It turned out the [[MistakenForRacist real reason]] was that Kwok had an arranged bride, who was coming to town for a visit.
