She seems pretty manly. I like her helmet and definitely the scarf action. Not sure about her left (our right) leg... seems kinda skinny.

Hey no problem, I always feel I have to say something when I see it. Yea you can get away with the leg, it just provoked me because the feet + knee detail of the armor (since they're light silver on black) made the legs stand out more, but that's not a bad thing honestly, just me being super picky. I would say she is manly because the shoulders seem larger than her hips. I mean, I do know that you hinted at the legs + hips belonging to a woman, but the underlying proportion is still a little to the man side. I do like the length of her neck + that scarf wrapped around it does bring a bit of feminine back, but her chest connecting with the arms seem a bit manly. Maybe because her forearms are super thick. Also, because the character is wearing a helmet it pretty much means all you got to work with is the body. But then again, it makes you see past your own work - try flipping it horizontal as you work, it'll come to you faster (I'd set it as a keyboard shortcut for photoshop - shift + ctrl + x, or command if you're a mac user).

I hope this has been helpful, I'm happy to give input anytime ; ) also feel free to input on my stuff, I have problems of my own to figure out.

The jacket hanging behind her also kind of adds the visual weight on her top half. I've drawn Bloodwork before.. and this was a pretty hard thing to get around, I'll admit.
