Qatar stadium is vagina-shaped, architect is defensive

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.

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
