I think the male version just doesn't take the "domination" form, more like "seduction", "manipulation".
My knowledge here is incomplete but it seems the typical Marvel male superhero never really seems weak to subtle forces, but that dynamic shows up in horror, sci-fi.

being seduced is really hot though 🤔 i can't think of any fictional depiction of a man being seduced by a woman that is scary as opposed to basically really hot. i haven't watched the movie where scarlett johansson kills dudes though but i bet that's still hot

i think ultimately men don't fear being seduced or manipulated by women anywhere near as much as they fear being abandoned and ignored by them (i don't at least)

Yeah, that makes sense, I can definitely understand rejection/abandonment as a primary fear. Seduction seems less of the central figure of the fear vs. what comes after - siren's song leading to doom, Fatal Attraction woman going crazy... both start out hot!

i could also imagine being more afraid of this the more attractive, famous, etc. i was. like right now i'm not exactly drowning in women coming after me to take advantage or w/e 😅

I was going to say, I think certain divorce and infidelity fears are also related. Lots of vulnerabilities to women.
Like do we even use the word "conniving" to refer to men?
