2%% Please do not put a trope on the list unless there are gender specific words. No, merely having words
3%% stereotypical to gender are not enough.
4%%
5
6These are tropes that have a gender-specific name but can involve either one.
7
8There may be some overlap with AlwaysMale and AlwaysFemale. Contrary to what the "Always" suggests, the tropes on those two pages ''tend'' toward being gender-exclusive, but are not necessarily ''completely'' exclusive.
9
10'''Again, the trope title must have something that makes it look like it's about just one gender.'''
11
12Note that using {{Pothole}} markup to replace a trope's name with a more fitting one in a trope list is considered a Administrivia/SinkHole and not allowed. Many of these tropes have opposite-gender or gender-neutral versions of their name as redirects, so feel free to use them instead (or see Administrivia/CreatingNewRedirects if you want to ask a mod to make one that doesn't already exist).
13
14Compare NonIndicativeName, NeverTrustATitle.
15
16Contrast DoubleStandard.
17
18Not to be confused with GenderBlendingTropes, GenderInvertedTrope (as both of these pages deal with toying around with gender tropes, not just trope names).
