Qatar will host the World Cup in 2022, and the design for the new stadium being built for the games kind of looks like a vagina.

People seem to think this is a big deal, but everything in the world basically looks like a dick, so what is the harm in having a stadium-size vagina in the mix?

As BuzzFeed notes, the architectural firm behind the design based it on the “dhow” boat that Qataris traditionally used for pearl diving, not a human vagina.
