And no, it's not that picture. That's one of Xandax, attending the Danish branch of the J. Edgar Hoover Lookalike Contest.

m, if you were a goddess, I suppose you could be Lamashtu - "she who erases". You know, "post deleted, thread closed" angle. Are you sure you are not a goddess?

I just checked. Nope, still a god.
Of course, many Babylonian gods (of both sexes) paid little attention to fussy Jahweh-come-latelies and their narrow gender-based prejudices. Ishtar for example made quite an effective god of war, love, and childbirth. Nowadays some scholars claim she actually combined the role of two separate gods, but in reality she was just a very nice, athletic kid who wanted to help people do what they did best: killing and ****ing one another. I tried to make her understand the humanity had higher functions, but she laughed, and bet me I was wrong.
We still consider the matter unresolved.
