Excellent!

(para) "For now, these are only potential talking points, planks to establish a platform."

OK, I get it.
Personally, I don't have the patience to teach the same lesson over and over, nor argue what I believe to be the same proved truisms, based on the entire recorded history of the human race available to me, over and over.

Feel free to lable such an intellectual position with any derogatory idiological co-opted, dog whistle, malaprops at your disposal. Be sure to actually know what "memes" and words actually mean, NOT what others ignorantly, or disingenuously, imply, in such discourse.

Just this - you are one cynical mo-fo who could do with lightening up from time to time.

All said and done, this is a prudent move ... one that was well thought out in advance. Kudos to all involved!

That is pretty well thought out. About the only thing I disagree with is the stance on circumcision. I know I am in the minority of the MRA Comunity on this and Im okay with it.

I was circumcised at birth and was also okay with until I saw a youtube video of an actual circumcision being carried out on a baby. I was very naive as I assumed that the babies had some anesthetics beforehand - I was wrong and after seeing the babies reaction and crying in agony I fail to see how it cannot result in some form of traumatic damage. Since then I saw an article claiming that MRI scans had indeed detected changes to the baseline brain pattern of a baby just circumcised.   
This factor is of course still controversial but after seeing the youtube video of such an operation I would err on the side of caution and ban all infant circumcision or at least old enough so their bodies can be safely anesthetized at the very least.

Ok, let's see.  Cut a newborn without anesthetic with a scalpel.  Cut him in his most sensitive area in his body. Remove a post card's area of sensitive skin.  15 square inches.   Duh.  I would argue that men who were circumcised without anesthesia are likely carrying around an early version of PTSD.  How could it not be?
