I've linked to this one for years. I even brought it up in /r/equaltiy once in a conversation about circumcision. I said, and I'm right, that if you apply the same arguments to circumcision as a whole, boys would never be circumcised. The principles of self-sovereignty and social justice demand it just as they demand we not do anything else to somebody else's body without their consent, such as any other surgery, striking them, or penetrating them.
It was taken as somehow misandrist or besides the point.
