This is when men are physically strong and quite capable of violence, but women are characterized as having a hidden but apparently bottomless capacity for lethal mayhem. To help this trope along, expect the bad guys to totally ignore Alice, dismissing her as a threat. She may even appear to capitulate or collude with the enemy, suffering indignities no one would expect her to tolerate, all in order to get a better shot at revenge. Should you be foolish enough to want to trigger such behavior in a female, try pestering her offspring, crossing her in love, or threatening her love interest.
