Pointing out an instance where males are at a disadvantage (e.g. male infant #circumcision) = #misogyny = #MRA = dismissible. Is that the way it works? #i2
Jews are highly over-represented and the circumcision rates are much less common among minority groups and have declined in large part because of immigration. It has it's medical roots in extreme sexual oppression/violence and religious fundamentalism.

Now it's being fanatically promoted in Africa and has already put Tuskegee to shame. But talk to many, many leftists in America (and elsewhere) about this and they'll either think it's just a joke or start sputtering about MRA's and anti-semites/islamophobia.
-
The attitude the left shows in this country and to a large degree elsewhere is absolutely fucking warped. They swallowed the psychotic radfem propaganda about how this is a non-issue and FGM is unique and that this is just a cover for hating Jews and Muslims.
-
Even if this is moreso a left-wing phenomenon at this point, it really can't be understated how dismissive and psychotic the left is on it. And many leftists/feminists who recognize this is an issue are often reluctant or in denial about how damaging feminism has been to this.
-
Another irony I've noticed is how the left overwhelmingly hates radfems at this point (or "terfs"), but their positions on FGM and circumcision are virtually identical. Callous, sociopathic indifference/dismissal because it threatens a cultish view of female victimization.
-
The radfems I know, identity as left. You're confusing terms. But I admit I don't know many.
-
A terf isn't necessarily a radfens, but most radfems are what could be described as terfs. Radfems might be technically left-wing, but their beliefs- a bizarre mix of far left and tradcon beliefs- put them at odds with the vast majority of the modern left.

A terf isn't necessarily a radfem*

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

I'm just remarking on how the demographics and nature of "intactivism" have all the hallmarks of it being left-wing (and appealing to them), but much of the left in America and many other places endlessly dismiss it as an MRA phenomenon and such.
-
Liberal Hollywood is no friend of Intactivism. There are plenty of outspoken Intactivists who have not figured that out. And there are a growing number of conservative allies too.
