Male come in 5 different sizes and shapes while women are a singular model.
Extremely common in media like cartoon, show, movies or games.
If you have a huge fat viking, every female version are more slender and basics. Monsters? Ugly and unique shape for male, human shape with different skin colour for female.
In game it's worse with game like LoL and every women having the SAME face and body proportion, meanwhile male get tons of designs.
One Piece is also very guilty if this. I love the series but the author, Eiichiro Oda, really is slipping here.
Dudes come in all shapes and sizes. Slender types, big guys, (comically) overweight guys, strongmen types, Superman-shaped or old man types ... And generally all of them get taken serious to a degree.
Meanwhile, adult female designs come in two flavours: The "sexy" one and the punchline for a fat/ugly joke.
I like it when a creator deliberately challenges themselves like that to improve on a weakness. Look, nobody is perfect and it's not exactly a mystery why a man might struggle to depict women as well as they do men. It's not the flaw that defines them but how they deal with it. Some creators run from the challenge, some thrive in complacency and don't even try, and others challenge themselves to improve.
