  I know we're not supposed to feed the trolls here but... dang it I am legitimately intrigued about your usage of "these days" here. Do you believe it's more common now than it used to be? And that it's some sign of recent societal decay?

    I think we should stop routinely genitally mutilating infants in America and I will gladly troll about this.

    If you think your cause is important, and you have a finite amount of time available to advocate for it, wouldn't it be better to perform more effective advocacy than trolling? Maybe look at the work of organisations like <a href="https://www.intersexequality.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.intersexequality.com/: this one isn't focused specifically on circumcision, but there's overlap, bolstering that cause will make yours easier, and their strategies are likely to be applicable to your cause.
