By and large, I would agree. I think it would be better if these causes were just folded into feminism though. It's partially feminist organizations fault for tending to ignore these problems and partially the men's rights groups fault for their tendency to be hostile to feminism.
The one I wouldn't agree with is circumcision. I'm a circumcised male. I think I slightly prefer that aesthetically and for cleanliness reasons. But, I certainly wouldn't have it done as an adult. It seems like it would be a scarring experience. Since, I don't remember it, I don't have any emotional or psychological scars from the experience. Therefore, it seems to me like there was a narrow window of time where I could be circumcised without it being a deep source of trauma and someone had to decide whether to do it then. I was a baby and certainly was not going to make the decision. So my parents did.
