Outside my window is a mountain. Everyone knows it as Koko Crater. But it’s actual name is Kohelepelepe which is the Hawaiian name for the labia minor. The story is that a goddess, attempting to rescue another goddess named Pele, throws her vagina all the way from Hawai’i island to O’ahu and it lands in this spot.
I think about this nearly every day (because of the mountain outside my window).

Here’s two links related to the story: Wikipedia and a more local essay.
So… Hawaiian mythology is mostly about vaginas? 🤔
That’s awesome and wild.
Also, are you native Hawaiian? Else how is living on Oahu? We have dreamed of it in the past, sounds delightful in many ways!
lmao the natives don’t live on the islands where that dude does
that’s a rich white dude, or maybe asian but probably white
edit lol at the downvotes for the truth
