Lastly, note that the word we chose to define this trope is "delicate". That word is not just about the woman's physical or emotional toughness. Delicate also means "precious, careful, deliberate, thorough", which are also qualities women are stereotyped with such as with WomenAreWiser and MenUseViolenceWomenUseCommunication. Delicate is the word which best sums up everything this trope is about. Please keep that in mind when adding/editing the subtropes.
