Basic Trope: Women suffer no harm from groin attacks.
- Straight: Alice gets kicked in the groin, but she shrugs it off quickly.
- Exaggerated: Alice gets struck by a nuke tipped with a carbon nanofibre sword that explodes point blank, but only gets a small scratch and groans slightly afterwards.
- Downplayed: Alice gives out a pained "Yeesh!", but is otherwise fine.
- Justified:
- Alice is Made of Iron.
- Alice is dressing as a man, complete with a sock in her underwear.
- Alice is wearing concealed armor with impact-resistant lining and/or a cup.
- Inverted: Alice is invincible anywhere but in the groin.
- Subverted:
- Alice initially smirks off the blow, only to slowly shift to screaming in pain.
- She was faking it and it really did get damaged...
- Double Subverted:
- The scream wasn't genuine and was used to let the opponent's guard down, as Alice No-Selled the attack.
- ...according to her version of the events.
- Parodied: Alice gets literally stabbed in the groin and feels no pain... but gets lightly brushed in her thighs and then she starts bleeding as she howls in pain.
- Lampshaded: "The female crotch is completely invincible. Everyone knows that."
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- Alice does not get kicked down there.
- Or she gets kicked in the crotch, and feels just as much pain (if not more) as her male compadres do. Followed by her screaming in physical pain.
- Exploited:
- Alice uses herself as a Bulletproof Human Shield.
- A Politically Incorrect Villain kicks Alice in the crotch to see if she's Transgender or not.
- Defied: Alice refuses to take any chances and armours her groin accordingly.
