Grow Some Labia? What the heck does that mean?
When we want men to ‘man up’ we urge them to ‘grow a pair’ or ‘grow some balls’. Women can’t grow balls, but our labia is what would have become our scrotum if we’d been born male. Grow some labia today, take back your power and don’t be the victim. The future is yours.
About Grow Some Labia
Grow Some Labia! is written by a liberal, feminist writer and social justice critic who teaches women and others how to reclaim their power and avoid partner abuse. She also candidly critiques far-left, progressive/woke/ social justice extremism. It's a place for people who lean left or right, but not so far their brains fall out. GSL's work can be found here and on Substack, Quora. And maybe a few other places.
If you’re as fed up with what passes for modern discourse in the Ignited States of America, Can’tada or Eur-up-my-nose, if you’re as sick of the left’s shit as you are of the right’s, you’ve come to the right place.
I’ve been kicked off Medium, Vocal.media and CounterSocial for upsetting transflakes and other wokies. I speak truth to power and they don’t like it.
Grow Some Labia encourages us to speak truth to and challenge unlawful, self-appointed authority and political extremism. Here there be facts, science, history, evidence, nuance, and, to put it in the immortal words of Dusty Springfield, looking at both sides now.
I also offer my experience to women and others who have experienced or would prefer never to experience an abusive relationship. I had a fantastic mother who drilled it into my head growing up that I should never tolerate an abusive, controlling man in my life. I listened. And I have never been abused by any man.
I teach women, men and others the lessons I learned about how to not get abused.
So if your mother didn’t tell you these things, I will, and maybe you will never, ever be hit by a man. Or ever again. It’s your choice.
As security expert Gavin de Becker stated in his excellent book The Gift of Fear, “The first time he hits you, you’re a victim. The second time, you’re a volunteer.”
Why subscribe?
Political extremists constitute about 8% total of political thought, but are the loudest voices. They’re the far left and the far right—divisive, extremist, and increasingly violent. I’ve been a liberal forever, but wokeness’s illiberalism has moved me closer to the center, with others who lean left like me, or right on the other side, but not so far our brains fall out. We don’t have to agree on everything, you know, but we both agree extremism sucks, whether it’s theirs or ours, and that’s a good start for fixing the world.
Subscribe if you’re tired of ‘wokeness’, the Trump cult, victim-centred narratives, the easily offended, anti-intellectualism, censorship, and science denial on both sides. Subscribe if you want a view that looks at t’other side, too.
We are the new Silent Majority!
I publish every Wednesday and once in awhile I send something extra out on Saturday or Sunday. I hope you’ll consider a paid subscription to support my work. I write here on Substack because it’s one of the few places left that doesn’t de-platform people for un-‘woke’ expression.
Be part of a community of people who just say no to ‘gotcha’ language, toxic political ideologies, and who want to stand up more to our wannabe masters and authoritarians, whether they wave a Confederate flag or a trans flag. We have to come together as we are the modern Silent Majority, and we will no longer tolerate the intolerant forces of fascism and illiberalism. You can email me at growsomelabia@gmail.com.
