There really isn't a comparison. You can imagine Ivanova running
the space station herself (maybe she is! we haven't had series four
here yet) whereas Janeway is more interested in posing on the
bridge.

Most importantly, Ivanova is a person with flaws and failings, not
some kind of godess, and for all her sexual appeal this is not the
emphasis of her role (unless she, like Dax, is wearing padding).
