Side note on an old subject

To compare male circumcisions with female clitorectomy demonstrates an ignorance of the human body and how it works. Embryologically, the clitoris is the analogous body part to the penis. It becomes engorged during sexual arousal and needs to be stimulated in order for a woman to have an orgasm, and to become lubricated enough to have safe and pleasurable intercourse. Penetration alone does not a climax make- something that most men fail to realize. In essence, removing the clitoris of a woman is the same as cutting off the entire penis, not just the skin around it. Please understand that. This is why sexual enjoyment and arousal are stunted for a woman who has had their clitoris removed. The tools simply are not there. Its like asking a man to have and enjoy the act of sexual intercourse without using his penis. Kind of a tall order.
