A male character suggesting males are better at anything then females is itself such a {{heel}} indicator that it generally sets up an audience expectation for a competition where the girls win, and casts said character as a straw man.

to:
A female character suggesting females are better at something usually sets up the same \\\"girls win\\\" expectation unless the character saying it is set up as a {{heel}} which will usually take more than the mere suggestion of female supremacy. Disagreeing with such a sentiment is usually enough to set up a straw opponent.

Or in short, a StrawFeminist needs to be extreme, while even alluding to males being better at something seems justification enough for the plot to revolve around proving them wrong.

Or in short, a straw feminist is usually pretty over the top, while the bar for this trope, whatever it\\\'s ultimately called is much lower. Possibly due to Females being such an unacceptable target that it\\\'s considered at attack on them for the opposite sex to be portrayed to have any kind of natural advantage.
