 Not sure exactly why, but I see this as kind of limiting instead of liberating. There the whole objectification thing that was discussed in class, being a combination of things a stereotypical male would desire, a woman and a motorcycle. But the form also seems kind of trapped and awkward. We now talk a lot about technology being used to free people from social constraints,  but back when we were looking at the plastic surgery articles it is clear that tech can also be used as a tool to maintain restrictions and order...
