Today I dissected a clitoris from a cadaver.
Tomorrow I will have the clitoris sliced into many sections, fixed and stained and I will then add them to the histology/pathology slide collection for medical students to learn from.
I've had enough of the gender bias of histology/pathology slides of penises and prostates and the like.
The time has come for equality. Penises and clitorises for all!

That is so true!!! We had penises and testes galore in our histo days. Ovaries yet...but not much else of the female stuff. (Though it was surprising how many people managed to confuse a slide of a lactating breast with the prostate gland....not me thankfully).
You go, Girl.
Yay! I agree. Clits for everybody.
Goodness Doc, the idea of that makes my stomach turn. Penis dissection sounds pretty interesting though.
Glad to hear someone is finally putting clitorises on the anatomical map so to speak. It's long been a joke at my med school that they should be acknowledged more in anatomy and then maybe all the boy-medical students would know they exsist!
Hilarious! But a good idea nonetheless.
Interestingly, when I recently visited Gunter Von Hagen's Bodyworlds exhibition, there were very few specimins of women.
I agree. They are indeed underrepresented minorities. Good for you!
What Lily says is so true....there were mutterings from the female (greater than) half of our class back in 2nd year that "at least a few guys no longer have an excuse not to know where it is".
