intactivism 

Activism to end infant circumcision based on human rights grounds, i.e. on the grounds that infants cannot consent to genital surgery that lacks any corrective or other immediate health benefit.
Due to some timely intactivism, the young woman was able to resist the doctor's suggestion that her healthy and happy newborn son be circumcised merely to mirror his father's circumcised penis.

injective 

An injection is a map f: A -> B such that
f(a)=f(b) => a=b for all a,b in A
The map f: R -> R given by f(x)=ax+b is injective.

Proof:

f(c)=f(d) <=> ac+b = ad+b <=> c=d

Q. E. D.

intactivism 

the act of raising awareness that men should have the right to choose whether or not they keep their entire penis they were born with and that partial genital amputations should not be performed on babies.
Thanks to some well-timed intactivism, the expectant mother realized that we as a society should not be cutting erogenous body parts off of non-consenting members of our society.

inactivism 

Sporting different color magnetic ribbons or bumper stickers that say "Free Tibet" on your car. It may be a "support our troops" yellow ribbon, a pink breast cancer ribbon, or any number of preposterous incarnations meant to capitalize on this trend. When you put stickers and magnets on your car, you aren't doing anything to support the cause. Thus, inactivism.
Julie has a "Free Tibet" sticker on her Subaru. But she hasn't done anything to actually help free Tibet. She also has an orange-spotted green ribbon that supports narcoleptic dogs. This doesn't do anything for narcoleptic dogs. This is inactivism.

intactivist 

Someone who loves, honors, respects and protects the rights of the child to an intact body. Someone who sees genital mutilation -- of girls or boys -- as a contradiction to that fundamental human right.
The intactivist writes books about childhood sexual abuse in the form of genital mutilation.
