Random Wordplay for Wednesday 8/13/14

Is Intactivist the opposite of Hacktivist?

Used in a sentence ... "Being fond of new words, I took notice that the other year was declared the year of the Hacktivist ... and then a recent Sunday paper article introduced me to the Intactivist movement as it was relevant to a south Florida lawsuit between parents over a three year old boy ... which led me to wonder ... is Intactivist the opposite of Hacktivist?"

Turns out that it is not ... since Hacktivists are fighting for the rights of everyone on the interwebs and Intactivists are fighting for the rights of penises to remain uncircumcised.  But I have to tell you ... all things considered ... I think the Intactivists missed an opportunity to claim that Hacktivist word to classify those against whom they rally.

Just my two centers.  Disclaimer:  I've got no skin in this game.  ;)

HACKTIVISTS ARE ALL THE RAGE IN MODERN TIMES:
