Female character, male voice actor?

Okay, it's really not that rare for a male character to have a female VA, especially if it's a child character (Bart Simpson, most of the Rugrats), or so pitched-up that it doesn't matter (Tress McNeille as Chip). But in how many cases has the reverse been true, where a male VA did a female character?

The only one I can think of offhand is Jaleel White doing Sonia's voice in Sonic Underground. I've heard a lot of people say they don't like Sonia's voice in this series (actually, I've heard a lot of people say they don't like this series), but my sister sounds kind of like her so it doesn't bother me any.
 
Notice how most of the time when a man voices a female character that the character is either old or obscure, the former being the complete opposite to when a woman usually voices a male character.

Anyway, because I can't think of anyone else that hasn't been mentioned, Janice was voiced by Dave Coulier on Muppet Babies, similarly her irl counterpart was played by Richard Hunt. Actually, most of the female characters were voiced by male voice actors, again like their irl counterparts.
 
To give an really old example, Bill Scott did the voice of Gertie Growler in Tom Slick (a segment on the original George of the Jungle series). Gertie's voice was similar to Super Chicken's, who was also voiced by Scott.

Alice from Superjail! is voiced by series co-creator Christy Karacas without screen credit.
 
Well, this one is a stretch but Maddie Blaustein voiced Dr. Kureha, and she used to be a guy. Even though she was technically a female when she voiced Dr. Kureha, her voice didn't seem to change too much.
