(Anonymous) 2013-01-20 07:49 am (UTC)(link)The ideal of a fit woman whose musculature is all-but-invisible is not the natural limit of what a woman can build. Take Serena Williams, or Gina Carano (when she was still fighting), or Jessica Biel in Blade III. Visibly powerful, with serious guns. There are a handful of women drawn this way - I try to collect pictures of them - but it's extremely uncommon. So, no, women can be drawn with lots of different body types stereotyped as "masculine" (such as being a long lean beanpole, or being a round and plump with a large belly, or whatever), and still parse as female. Most artists just depict them as the same uniform "slender with distinctive curves and long legs", which is not the only look women possess. It can be dismaying if you like women with the kind of builds that aren't popular, which I also do.
It would be like giving a woman a beard. I mean, it's technically possible for it to happen, but why would you do that? Beard representation?
No, because beards are sexy to some people, and if you find women and beards sexy, maybe you want to combine your favorite sexy things into one sexy whole. Maybe you find facial hair incompatible with women, but not everyone does.
