And as a result, that difference between the two is why the tropes work in different ways. StrawFeminist characters are often used to discredit feminism as a whole, by showing the most extreme, man-hating, even violent versions and calling it \\\"feminism.\\\" Whereas, this trope isn\\\'t about discrediting misogyny; one doesn\\\'t need an extreme version to do that.
