| Title=Orgy of Male Bonding | Text=There was some titter of laughter and gentile applause which resonated throughout the room. So I felt it was the appropriate moment to tell the crowd that I was circumcised. Which I did. There followed what can only be described as an <span style="background:#d7f5ff">Orgy of Male Bonding</span>. I have never been so embraced and hugged so extravagantly by numbers of people simultaneously as they conveyed to me that they understood the importance of circumcision and recognized that it's withstood the transmission of the virus. | Author=[[Stephen H.

| Title=[[Paula Donovan ]] ([[UNICEF]]) | Text=She [ [[Paula Donovan]] ] realized that male circumcision was a good preventative way to slow the spread of [[AIDS]]. So she took that analysis further. She suggested to the male leadership in Nairobi, that [[UNICEF ]] propose that <span style="background:#d7f5ff">circumcision accompany the regular process of immunization of infants</span>... Paula was easily 10 years ahead of her time, because <span style="background:#d7f5ff">that's exactly what's being discussed in several countries now</span>... and what did the [[UNICEF ]] hierarchy do at the time? They grabbed their genitals in protective embrace and laughed it off like only male sexists can laugh things off. ...the UN took more than a decade to see male circumcision for the inspired preventative technology that it is. | Author=[[Stephen H.

| Title=Extraordinary Hypocrisy & Sexism | Text=The sexual and gender inequality compromises the lives women lead. [...] Female genital mutilation is a particularly awful practice. [...] The discrimination, the panoply of discrimination that is visited on women in this world is just appalling, and it obviously sabotages the lives they lead. ...I live in a feminist family and I love it. I think the feminist analysis is by far the most insightful. ...The single most important struggle on the planet, is the struggle for gender equality. [...] It all takes time in dealing with men. Dealing with male sexual behavior, to change male sexual behavior is going to be a couple of generations. ...My wife has often said on public platforms--much to my mortification--that it took her 20 years to turn me into a human being, and then the next 25 or 26 were tolerable. ...It takes all of us time. Men are resistant to change. | Author=[[Stephen H. Lewis]] | Source=| lang=| before=| after=| Transcription=| Translation= | ref=<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFkVLJ9Ukts Lewis, S.
