We had the Childcraft series of kiddie encyclopedias - volume 5, I believe, was all about the human body. There was a picture of a boy & girl showing their intestines, stomach, etc - but for some reason, the boy figure, turned slightly, only had a few loops of intestine drawn, I guess just to represent the space normally taken up by all the intestines. The girl, shown head-on, had the typical full set of intestines drawn. I believed that girls had more "guts" than boys and that's why most women had bigger stomachs and hips than men.
