The term Circumcision advocat describes a person who vehemently advocates and pronounces medically not necessary genital mutilation in children.
Some of these people are committed to their fetish as individuals and influence e.g. information available online (example: Jake Waskett). Others work in groups and denounce, ridicule or stalk intactivists or spread myths that have long been refuted by science as arguments for circumcision.
Bullying techniques
Chances are that discussions about the MGM topic culminate in an exchange of unkindness. There is no tendency to determine whether intactivists or circumcision advocats have started to escalate; people and situations are too different for that. But there are samples which often repeat and are used by circumcision advocats only, especially when they can no longer stand up argumentatively.
- Accuse the opponent as being anti-Semitic.
- Accuse the opponent as being islamophob.
- Attack ad hominem, i.e. attack the discussion partner personally, not speaking about the topic (ad rem).
- Claim that inactivists are not about children's rights.
- Claim that intactivists are pedophile.
- Deny and make fun of personal experiences and sufferings from mutilated men.
- Distract from the topic.
- Give names.
- Ignore that circumcision myths shared by circumcision advocats are debunked by science or testemonies.
- Name intactivism a "cult".
- Ridicule all arguments of the opponent, without counter arguments.
Circumcision advocate websites
This incomplete list shows websites and their own "claims" quoted from the websites:
- CircFacts.Org, "Real Facts About Male Circumcision"
- Circumcision Choice, "supporting Choice NOT misinformation"
Circumcision advocat pages on Facebook
This incomplete list shows Facebook pages and their own "claims" quoted from their info pages:
- BloodStainedmen, "Correcting intactivist LIES"
- BloodStained guys, "Parody page"
- Circumcision Choice, "This page will provide information on circumcision and expose the malevolent actions of anti-circumcision fanatics."
- Watching Mutilation Watch, "Since Facebook does not want to take down Mutilation Watch, a horrible bully page, we have decided to give those folks a taste of their own medicine."
It is striking that the choice of words is always quite aggressive and full of ad hominem attacks, intactivists are referred to here as liars, etc.
