A clitorectomy or "clitoridectomy" (a spelling, which as an etymologist I find interesting because of the word "rid" in the middle of it) is NOT equivalent to male circumcision.
In male circumcision, (a practice which many find barbaric in the first place, but which is still widely practiced for "hygienic" purposes on newborn infants) removes the foreskin from the glans of the penis. What it actually does is heighten the sensitivity of the penis, causing circumcised men to have many more erections than non-circumcised men...sometimes enslaving them to sexual addictive behaviors.
In Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), often called by it's proponents the misnomer of "Female Circumcision" the entire clitoris and labia minor are removed from underneath the skin.
These ARE sexual organs! In fact, as fetuses...males and females develop Exactly the Same for many weeks until the male sexual organ begins to fuse and protrude more.
Removal of the clitoris and underlying organs is EXACTLY like Removing the PENIS and TESTICLES of a man.
If I were a Man missing my Penis....Someone would have Paid Attention by NOW!
