Even if we assume that he's wearing a ladies shirt for a moment... Why does he have that stethoscope? Is this what doctors do when the patient is waiting in the exam room?

Wait what, where did you get that ladies shirt?

Shirt buttons are sown onto the left side of women's clothes and the right side of men's. The buttons on his shirt are on his right side.

I'm assuming OP means maybe the DNA model has the helix spinning the wrong way because the image was flipped horizontally, but that would cause the shirt buttons to be on the wrong side for men's clothes.

So that's why my shirts are inconsistent...

WHY IS SOCIETY LIKE THIS? I'll have to make a shirt in which I alternate each button as revenge!

Apparently it stems from the days when women had servants who helped them dress, while men generally didn't.

every other button is both on the other side and facing inward?
