I split the thread to imagery because this is an interesting topic.
I mostly agree with your last post, though it's not always that simple. For one, there are other indicators of gender than breasts. One of my favorite examples is this one:

First, the face. That is by no means a woman's face. The strong nose, square jaw, hard chin.
Now take a close look at the outer breast. You will see that the line from the belly actually continues to form a blank chest. This part has been somewhat erased (perhaps?) and changed into a breast, which looks like it has later been enhanced further with the dark ink. This tells us that even in the first inking stage, there was doubt and change going on with regard to characters' gender.
The somewhat feminine crown/diadem has been added in the dark ink, as is often the case (I call these "dark diadems").
If we ignore the long tail, the hairstyle is actually that of the Voynich men.
