StupIDPol: A based critique of essentialism

77 readers

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:

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.

Must be a foreign student. Germans aren't this funny.

How dare you! German humour is no laughing matter.

Good point. If they did install glory holes they'd do it in a much more serious way than just putting them in lecture halls - they'd have a special designated building. But that doesn't seem fair, male students get to have glory holes, what do horny female students get? Screwed but not in a good way.
