rlyons, apparently you are as uneducated about female circumcision as you are about male circumcision.

Female circumcision for the most part also just removes a piece of skin that is on the outside. Only about 10% of female circumcisions are the type that is most often spoken about here. Apparently, female circumcision doesn't "deform(s) and ruin(s) a woman's body and disallows her to have any enjoyable sex in her whole life." The vast majority of women who are circumcised are perfectly happy with it. So happy in fact that they circumcise their daughters so they can also have the "perfected genitals." Here are a couple of articles you might want to read that will explain this:

Certainly this is not male dominance of females by males! However, it is typically a female that signs the consent form for males to be circumcised, not a male. This seems to be just the opposite of what you have posted!
