Thank you for your questions and your response!
Firstly, the the “Jason Todd genitalia incident” is a questionable defense, because it’s really not clear if it’s an actual outline of his private parts, or if it’s just the fold/detail in the clothing. I personally don’t see it as being sexual. And even if it was drawn to be that way, it’s the first time(that I can remember) of that ever happening, whereas women’s body parts are shown on covers all the time. In fact, it’s rare to see a woman on a cover that is fully clothed, and NOT posed in a sexualized manner. For men, if it happens at all, it’s pretty rare.
As far as Starfire’s bone structure being different because she’s alien…her physiology has never been explained as such, so there’s no reason to believe that’s so. Like I said in my post, if this was an isolated incident, than maybe, maybe you could find logical explanations for the way she poses. However, the “brokeback” syndrome (no seriously, it occurs so often that there’s an actual term for it) happens all the time for woman in comics, alien or not. Attributing some false reasoning for putting female characters in these positions is just an attempt to push the issue under the rug.
