What's the obsession with phalic towers? I would think letting toxic masculinity rule everything would result in less dicks everywhere but it is the other way around?

Perhaps they can construct a deep underground, inverted tower, inside a sort of fissure, so some can then call it a vaginal tower.

In all seriousness, in those baking desert landscapes, it would even make a considerable amount of sense for cooling costs.

You're describing open pit coal mining, the very birth place of many of the rich societies that now build phallic towers, pun intended.
