About: Raised by Dudes   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The character was raised around a bunch of rough guys (or just one) and usually is thus dysfunctional in normal society, especially around women. The trope may use an exaggerated, Testosterone Overdosed version of masculinity. This situation can be seen as overall positive for a male character as it can only make him "manlier". However, a girl in this situation often becomes One of the Boys or The Ladette and, in some cases, may never be seen as a true woman for lacking the mandatory Acceptable Feminine Goals. In milder cases, I Have Brothers may be invoked instead.

  • The character was raised around a bunch of rough guys (or just one) and usually is thus dysfunctional in normal society, especially around women. The trope may use an exaggerated, Testosterone Overdosed version of masculinity. This situation can be seen as overall positive for a male character as it can only make him "manlier". However, a girl in this situation often becomes One of the Boys or The Ladette and, in some cases, may never be seen as a true woman for lacking the mandatory Acceptable Feminine Goals. In milder cases, I Have Brothers may be invoked instead. Often comes with the Unfortunate Implication that, in the absence of women, men cannot competently raise children, especially babies and little girls. Can set up a Double Standard for Real Life House Husbands and single dads, not to mention gay couples -- though perhaps the latter are exempt due to theoretically being more civilized than their slovenly, beer-swilling het counterparts.
