    No sooner were the covers whipped off the Al Wakrah design, than
    pundits worldwide weighed in, insisting that what was supposed to
    represent "the sails of the Arabian pearl fishing boat the Dhow" was in
    fact a mammoth yoni.
    An indignant Zaha Hadid, described by Time as "the world’s best-known female architect", told the magazine: "It’s really embarrassing that
    they come up with nonsense like this. What are they saying? Everything
    with a hole in it is a vagina? That’s ridiculous."
    She added: "Honestly, if a guy had done this project, critics would not
    be making such lewd comparisons."
    Actually, we suspect that in this case it's a matter of calling a spade
    a spade, irrespective of the architect's gender.

    Only a man who has never seen one would be under the impression that
    looks anything like a vagina.

    Stone circles were common enough everywhere in the mountains. Druids
    built them as weather computers, and since it was always cheaper to
    build a new 33-Megalith circle than to upgrade an old slow one, there
    were generally plenty of ancient ones around --Lords and Ladies
