freak upon freaky

some of my fellow uci'ers and i have decided to go see the body worlds 2 exhibit. as if living in the o.c. isn't scary enough. for those of you not in the know, body worlds is a science exhibition of "plastinated" humans. or ex-humans more accurately. somewhat of a scientific wonder, but i'm not sure if i can stomach it. we will see. in any case, i was reading the info about it and found this:

Why aren't there more women plastinates in the exhibits?

Sensitive to perceived community concerns, Dr. von Hagens did not want to appear voyeuristic in revealing too many female bodies. He sees himself in the tradition of Renaissance anatomists, whose works traditionally included far more masculine than feminine bodies, since all but the reproductive systems are essentially the same. The musculature of male bodies is generally more pronounced and illustrates more aspects of the muscle system.

although technology has advanced, apparently our view of the female body hasn't. win some. lose some.
