Really? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15593753/ns/health-mens_health/ is a link. It's blue. If you click it, it takes you to a page. That would classically be referred to as a source. That post, with that source, has 3 downvotes... because it doesn't fit with the view that circumcision is "mutilation" so it goes against what people here want to hear.

I had high hopes when I started here and even asked a few questions on a couple of threads to learn more about the real issues men face in custody and child support battles, being in public or a working environment around children and being accused to "perversion," and some of the more clear cases of discrimination and harmful stereotyping.

I was sharing those links elsewhere and trying to start the conversation with more of the uninitiated like myself. However, I've found when I question anything, this entire subreddit falls all over itself to try to prove how victimized they are in every single aspect of their life.

Hell, I read a post recently that men who watch sports may as well be helping the feminists. There are some people here with issues of distorted reality and self-victimization and nobody will take a movement seriously that will not use the word circumcision to describe a circumcision. That's what it's called.

Nobody likes the extreme pro-lifers that say "baby killer" because it's unnecessary rhetoric sparked by emotion that overrides logic. Same goes here with "mutilation."

I give up. You could call this a victory, but you probably think victories are a gender-role gimmick meant to emasculate other men and oppress them.
