Question regarding phallic symbols

Hello everyone, I was recently struck by the idea that there is a word for
phallic images, but not for the opposite, namely the female genital organ.
Is there some obscure word out there for such a thing?  I would think that
it would be useful if a matriarchy ever develops and men can whine about all
the ______ symbols all over the place.  Thanks in advance! (please send
responses to this address, I'm not on the list)
