Fem. bases do have a smaller visible character model, but they are also positioned differently. Professional photographers typically have male models stand with their shoulders square to the camera to make them seem more muscular, and often pose female models with their shoulders at an angle to make them appear slimmer.

This angled stance is also what police/military operators are taught, because it reduces your visible stance from the front, making you a more difficult target.

Most people pick up on fem. bases in CA being slightly smaller, but few realize that it's their angled "tactical" stance, in contrast to the square-on posture of male bases, that accounts for most of the visible size difference.
