Your analogy to the women deciding the abortion issue is very cleaver.
However it is not a good analogy. Anyone; black, white, red, yellow, male,
female, neuter, could be and have been slaves and slave owners. Thus anyone
is in a position to contemplate realistically the prosepects of being either
the benefactor or loser of slavery. Males cannot realistically contemplate
the prospect of being pregnant.

A better analogy would be; the only people allowed to make rules etc 
rregarding removal of the foreskin of infants should be males. or Any rules
laws etc regarding removal of testicles should be made by males.

PS I am a strong supporter of the Entire Bill of Rights, not just the First.
Thus as someone said a long time ago "though I disagree with what you say I
will defend to the death your right to say it"
