Betty tries to get the internet to do her homework.

One of the interesting things produced by the Girl-Wonder.org forums is some artwork produced by people trying to illustrate the exactly how and why female comic characters are illustrated differently than the male. We're not just talking about the costumes, although it's a good start. We're talking about the poses, the blocking, the anatomy, the whole shebang.

So, I want to offer to host artwork people make where a male is put into a female pose, and I'm looking for female references. You know, the one you look and go, "bzuh?" The one that never would have got drawn if it were male. (ETA: for genderswapping purposes, so bad boobs will only work up to a point) My old favourite of this is this picture of Jade discussing her sexual abuse. But I know there's worse out there. Do people have any off the top of their heads?

Edit: Perusal of s_d's "boobs don't work that way" tag gives me this, this and this and oh dear god, this, if someone replicated this with a man I think the chiropractor-tasticness of it would be inescapable, oh god how could I have forgotten this, this entire post...
