ICMI20: Steven Svoboda - Genital Autonomy, Equal Protection, the Law: Two Legal Decisions, 17 years
Full title:
“Genital Autonomy, Equal Protection, and the Law: A Story of Two Judicial Decisions 17 Years Apart”
In 1997, Steven founded the award-winning non-profit Attorneys for the Rights of the Child to educate the world that children do not need to have their genitals cut, and he has presented to the United Nations on male circumcision. In 2013, he unofficially won a debate with a world-famous epidemiologist regarding the legality and ethics of male circumcision. On New Year’s Eve 2018-2019, he led the submission to the United Nations of a third-party intervention in a Finnish circumcision case.
Svoboda has been published in over 40 peer-reviewed journals including many of the world’s top journals such as the Journal of Medical Ethics, the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, the Medical Anthropology Quarterly, and the American Journal of Bioethics. He publishes the ARC Newsletter, 36 issues of which have been released in 20 years. ARC’s work has been recognized by Harvard Law School, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Men’s Health magazine.

This video is one of 120 videos published for the sixth International Conference on Men's Issues (2020), a conference originally planned for Sydney, Australia, but later turned into a virtual conference due to Covid-19.
From #metoo to the American Psychological Association’s guidelines pathologizing “masculinity” as harmful, to Gillette’s razor adverts blaming all men for the actions of a damaged few, ideologically motivated groups have used unchallenged narratives of female victimhood to promote damaging stereotypes about men and boys, masculinity and men’s relationships to each other.
More than ever before, recognition of men’s issues is needed. Men and boys deserve compassion, they deserve consideration for their unique needs, and they deserve our support.
Men and boys also deserve respect for their unique contributions to society and an end to the promotion of unkind stereotyping of being harmful, abusive, toxic, selfish and hateful. We would not tolerate this stereotyping directed towards any other group.
We are in an era of unprecedented ideological conflict. By reducing men’s ability to take a positive identity from their masculinity we are encouraging young men to pursue ever more radical ideologies to find a place to belong. In turn we are also encouraging young women to embrace an identity as society’s victims rather than its equal co-creators.
The inaugural conference was held in 2014, and since 2016 the conference has been held annually:
- Detroit (2014)
- London (2016)
- Gold Coast, Australia (2017)
- London (2018)
- Chicago (2019)

BBC Radio Nottingham failed to invite Ray Barry, the J4MB candidate in the 2015 general election, to the hour-long hustings they broadcast live. Ray complained, and was allowed this short opportunity to speak to Alan Clifford - a man who evidently couldn't be bothered to shave before his publicity photograph - a week later, on the eve of the election. With no apparent sense of irony, Alan started off with the comment, 'You might know some of the candidates standing in Broxtowe. There's one who perhaps hasn't... er... got as much publicity as some of the others, but that's about to change...'.

[Note added 14.11.15: Jess Phillips was a particularly worthy winner of our Toxic Feminist of the Month award https://j4mb.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/151031-v2-jess-phillips-mp-toxic-feminist-of-the-month.pdf.]
Even by the anti-male standards of the BBC, this was outrageous. Jess Phillips MP mocked and laughed at a bid by Philip Davies MP to have a debate on men's issues on International Men's Day, in the chamber of the House of Commons (the video is on this channel). Her committee - all the other members, including the chairmen, were men - pathetically bowed to her feminist demand.
Andrew Marr failed to mention why Phillips had suddenly become infamous, saying this to her (1:17):
"You had a ferocious argument with a Tory MP [note: unnamed] who went for you, then you had a horrible lot of trolling on the internet, so you had a very, very, rough week... tell us a bit about what happened."
There was no 'ferocious argument', Philip Davies must be the most calm and measured MP in parliament. Ms Phillips's response:
"... People threatened to rape, bind, and gag me on the internet this week, because I spoke from a feminist perspective, which apparently is anathema...'.
Could it be any clearer? 'A feminist perspective' includes blocking debates on men's issues in parliament. Feminism has NOTHING to do with gender equality, and EVERYTHING to do with female supremacy.
