End misandry. End circumcision.

The last argument ("He's my son, so it's my decision.") doesn't imply men are property as much as it implies children's decisions must be made for them by parents... which isn't necessarily incorrect.

It would be more effective to point out that this same logic could be applied to female circumcision, which would be appalling to most people and isn't for males largely due to sexist reasoning.

I like it. But perhaps make it more succinct. I bet it would pop more if it were less wordy.

Is there a group of people who are circumcised that are pissed off because their rights were violated?

specifically men

The image is just too cute. Substitute it for the one showing an infant strapped down, shrieking & some sick beast cutting him. Then blow it up to billboard size. Then you will see some action.

Beautiful.

I know that I'm most certainly going to get shot down for this, so let me clear up a few things first.

I am in favor of equality (not men's rights, not women's rights, but equality.)
I do not like Femnazis. That should be enough, so let me start:

I think this person is trying to connect dots that really aren't there. Just like, in other posts I've seen, how Damsels in Distress isn't misogyny, circumcision isn't misandry. The only way to determine whether or not something is being done against a person just because s/he is a wo/man is to establish a motive. Oftentimes, this is done for

Religious purposes (which, whether or not you agree with religion, it's often agreed on to at least respect religion) or
Health (which can easily be interpreted as a parent trying to look out for the best for their child).

That is all. steps down from soapbox

In all honestly I am fine with it. I could understand not having a choice in the matter, but this is more of a religious issue rather than a gender issue. (in my experience, of course)

I was also vaccinated as a baby, and I'm not complaining about that either. The decision not to circumcise isn't the same as giving the son the right to reach 18 and then decide for himself, because who's going to let someone take a scalpel to their dickhead at 18. But that doesn't mean you wouldn't have them go back and do it while you were a baby when you're too young to remember, and rubbing a little whisky into your gums is enough to dull the pain afterwards anyway.

If you want to say that it should be as much the father's choice then at least I understand where you're coming from, but why would you want to force people to face that as an adult when it's so much less of a thing as an infant? Don't be such a dick.

wow this is dumb. The only one saying "what we're really saying..." is image creator. This is one stretch that is too far, even for anti-circumcision advocates.

Truly beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye.
