The Goddess
Her presence is felt by both men and women, and every member of society past the age of five is aware of her. She is the fashion-model archetype, an implicit image of reference. She always looks perfect. She also smells wonderful at all times. She has “sex-appeal.” However, she is asexual. We look but don’t imagine. Whether she is intelligent is irrelevant.
