Article here. Excerpt:

'CHIEF Mumena of the Kaonde people has called on women to encourage their partners to seek male circumcision services.

Speaking at a voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) stakeholders meeting held recently at Hotel Inter-Continental in Lusaka, the traditional leader called for an increase in male circumcision communication.

"Male circumcision is about survival. Women should realise that male circumcision helps prevent cervical cancer, thus women should demand for their partners to get circumcised," she said.'

... saying if women/girls get their outer labial flaps removed, men are 50% less likely to catch herpes.

So Chief Mumena, would you support that, too? Would you advise men in your tribe to lobby their wives to do just that?

Men run society my ass.

As to intactivists, I'm surprised they don't play up the "men don't even warrent the same consideration as animals" argument

Sure it's an informal survey, but I'm confident some effort could be made to find something more substantial.
