The best depictions of this in my honest opinion has to be the characterization of Richard and Nicole Watterson in Gumball and Peter and Lois Griffin in Family Guy.
To start of with gumball, Nicole is the tiger mom and the absolute head of the Watterson family. In addition, she is often depicted as the competent one in the family and she loves her husband even with all of his shortcomings. Richard is a fat idiot whom she dated and married eventually. He was totally infantized by his mother and literally can't think of himself because of it, and is often a total embarrassment to his wife. However Nicole is depicted as loving her husband even though he is a fat idiot with the mental capacity of a 3 year old, and he can't get a job because the laws of the universe forbids him from working.
In family guy, this stuff is far more out of hand. Lois is the heir and daughter of the wealthiest family in quahog AND is also considered the hottest women there as well. Peter Griffin is a idiotic obese alcoholic who the son of a pathetic Irish drunk. He is a total idiot, yet early on the series these 2 were highly in love and Lois overlooked this whole dynamic.
Now I want you to look at the above scenarios, except the characterization is switched. The MAN is the super hot/rich/competent/winner, while the woman is a obese ill incompetent idiot who doesn't work, yet the man is forces to overlook and accept his partner. This would not at all sit well with women, which is why they never make idiot female characters, outside of the occasional dumb, but blonde and hot chick.
