StupIDPol: A based critique of essentialism

A federated homage to the subreddit of the same name. The original idea is a marxist take on identity politics and the stupidity inherent in it, but we're fresh out of marxists to run this joint.
Until any marxists step forward to take over, this is a place to post well-tempered stories and commentary about the bonkers world of identity politics.
We got rules, so learn 'em:
- Follow the site-wide Terms of Service
- Try your best to keep comments based. Low effort trash talk and profanity aren't in keeping with the spirit of the community
- We're inspired by communists, so yes the moderators can and will abuse our power

Highly doubt this "story" for many reasons. It's funny these things always happen in "other" countries so you can't easily verify how true they are. I was a student at the U. of Utah for 6 years (4 years undergrad and 2 grad) and although I was out as a gay person, I never needed glory holes for any reason. Though, ironically, the bathroom at one of the major halls is still listed in a local gay guide as a "place to visit." Personally I've known many gay men and not many of them have ever actually used or wanted to use a glory hole. And think about it - is having glory holes so men can get their rocks off really such a bad thing? I mean, you get your rocks off, no questions asked, no one gets pregnant, no woman has to be subjected to any mistreatement by a horny male student - I'm not sure I see a downside.
