They don't mix.

As You Know, the Magic Skirt is a trope in place to preserve the modesty of women before the audience. The trope tin't be counted on to be in effect in-universe with regards to the other characters. Some^[1] skirted female characters are enlightened of this, and thus this trope.

Basically, a Genre Savvy, skirted adult female refuses to climb, scale, arise, mount or escalate a ladder or ladder-like device while men are nearby for fearfulness of subverting Magic Skirt, and well, y'all know...

She's not always successful. Just if she'south lucky, not all men in-story are perverts. If it's the cameraman who does this, so information technology's Male Gaze.

And yes, the trope'southward name is a reference to the popular board game Chutes and Ladders, sometimes called Snakes and Ladders. Creepy connection, isn't information technology?

Examples of Skirts and Ladders include:

Anime and Manga

• In a scene cut by 4Kids, during Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Duelist Kingdom arc, Tea/Anzu and the cheerleading squad (atomic number 82 by Tristan/Honda) were scaling a secret tower via rope. Honda suggests that Anzu go commencement so that if she falls they can catch her. She refuses initially, blushing and indicating her skirt. Honda doesn't understand, then Bakura explains the problem. She ultimately allows it so long equally they both wear blindfolds (which eliminates the original purpose of catching her if she falls).
  • And and so the way they climb makes information technology a moot point, as even if the guys weren't blindfolded, they were walking up the side of the tower in a way that prevents them from looking upward her skirt anyways, except maybe when she went in the window.
• In E's Otherwise, Yuuki, Kai and Asuka are being pursued by a killer cyborg. Escaping into the sewer, Yuuki leads them up a ladder while carrying Asuka on his back. Asuka (who'due south wearing a short skirt) requests that Kai go up first. Not agreement, Yuuki heads upwards the ladder anyway, giving Kai a perfect view (he blushes tomato-blood-red). She cries afterwards, since Kai is basically her Beloved Interest (and Yuuki however never got it).
• Great Teacher Onizuka starts with this scene.
• In Bastard!! (the anime), when Dark Schneider goes off to rescue Tia from a ninja forth with the royal army AND the Majestic Princess, they meet a problem similar this during the attack on the tower. Since the ground-floor is a battleground, DS has to go up concluding to protect the ladder, but the princess refuses to get upwardly outset since she's wearing a rather brusk skirt. (She originally wore information technology under a rather fancy set of armor, but DS had her take it off once it became clear that information technology was completely useless and very encumbering.) DS rolls his eyes, throws her over his shoulder, and climbs up the ladder with her hanging there. Thus, instead of him potentially looking up her skirt, she winds up having her boobs billowy off his back and her hips grinding against his face all the fashion up. Judging from her expression, she'd probably have preferred it the other way around.
• An early episode of Digimon Frontier had Zoe suspect this trope was in outcome once she was offered "Ladies Showtime" upwards a ladder.
• The outset fourth dimension we met Kamome in Cyber Team in Akihabara, she is going first upward stairs in a very short skirt providing a Panty Shot; when some boys enjoying the view remark her this, her beginning activeness is to demand money from them in substitution for the fanservice, and then she doesn't denounce them equally perverts.
• AIKa R-16: Virgin Mission uses this trope extensively.

Comic Books

• There'due south a scene from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen where Mina climbs upward something before Alan, and he'southward clearly taking a look up her dress. Mina is none also pleased, and Alan's expresssion is a Crowning Moment of Funny.
  • Half the comedy comes from the fact that Mina is wearing ridiculously modest Victorian bloomers under her wearing apparel anyway...this is the 19th century'southward idea of Fan Service!

Film

• The Mel Gibson/Goldie Hawn moving picture Bird On a Wire featured this in the trailers for the movie. Hawn's character doesn't invoke this, though, until they're halfway up a fire escape and the wind is lifting her brim.
• Parodied in one of The Naked Gun movies. Priscilla Presley climbs up a ladder.

Leslie Nielsen: Say, squeamish beaver. Priscilla Presley: Thank you, I just had information technology stuffed. [Hands him a stuffed beaver.]

• David Fincher's The Game has this. When climbing out of an elevator, Christine wants Nicolas to become first. Nicolas complains that it'll be that much harder to pull Christine upwards than for her to go first. Christine says that she'southward not wearing any underwear.
  • A few minutes after, when they are chased by dogs in the aisle, Christine doesn't hesitate. Nicolas calls her on it.

Literature

• Anita Blake is climbing down into a sewer with a friend below her. For added fun, Anita explicitly says that if a skirt covers her buttocks, information technology's long plenty for her, and she'southward wearing a thong. Oh, and she knows her friend is looking up her skirt, just is so...empowered? or something that she doesn't care.

• Ladders aren't involved, but in the Xanth serial, it's a good thought for a woman not to clothing a brim when crossing the invisible bridge that stretches across the Gap Chasm, as anyone walking below could look up and run into what color her panties are.
• In Masquerade, Walter Plinge insists that Nanny Ogg precede him while descending a ladder, and so he can't wait up her dress. If any other human being had mentioned it, he'd probably be due a thumping (as Nanny'southward in her seventies easily, and rather plump to go by official fine art), merely he's sincere and more than a flake daft and so it's clearly honest business concern. Equally the series' Dingy Old Woman, Nanny only contemplates that this may be the start time anyone's said that to her...
• In the first Adrian Mole book Adrian helps his neighbor, Mrs. O'Leary to put upward street decorations for the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana. When she climbs a ladder, he can't help noticing her panties, which he finds surprisingly sexy for someone who goes to church every solar day and twice on Sundays. ("Blackness lace! With cerise-satin ribbons!")

• Resident Evil 2: Ada either leads Leon up a vertical ladder (while wearing what's near a miniskirt), or asks him for a boost upwards to a high ledge. Leon is clearly taking in the view in the latter.
  • Attempting to do this to Ashley (or doing information technology past accident if an enemy throws y'all to the basis near her) in Resident Evil 4 (once again, playing as Leon) will crusade her to call you a debauchee.
