It seems you are playing the female circumcision myths card..
Perhaps you might actually research it a bit more?
Circumcised females actually do "enjoy" sex and have orgasms:

Circumcised women experience sexual arousal and orgasm as frequently as uncircumcised women, according to a study in Nigeria. ..."
AS for this "piece of outside skin" in male circumcision..
it seems you are woefully ignorant on the anatomy of the male prepuce:
http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/taylor/
The male prepuce is a complex structure comprising the majority of the penile nerves (all of which are very specialized--this results in a loss of up to 3/4 of a man's sensations and sensitivity:
Fine-Touch Pressure Thresholds in the Adult Penis l
http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/bju_6685.pdf
"Analysis of results showed the glans of the uncircumcised men had significantly lower thresholds than that of circumcised men (P = 0.040). There were also significant differences in pressure thresholds by location on the penis (p < 0.0001). The most sensitive location on the circumcised penis was the circumcision scar on the ventral surface. It was remarkable that five locations on the uncircumcised penis that are routinely removed at circumcision had lower pressure thresholds that the ventral scar of the circumcised penis.
This study suggests that the transitional region from the external to the internal prepuce is the most sensitive region of the uncircumcised penis and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis. It appears that circumcision ablates the most sensitive parts of the penis."
"A new study in the British Journal of Urology International shows that men with normal, intact penises enjoy more sexual sensitivity — as much as four times more — than those who have been circumcised. Circumcising slices off more of a male's sensitivity than is normally present in all ten fingertips. "
As for this: "It is SO not the same.
Female circumcision is about male dominance over women. You can hardly say the same thing about removing the foreskin!"
So with this evidence, yes, I can say this!
Likewise, If I say circumcised female sex is "perfect" for me, would this justify circumcisinf females?
BTW, you might wish to actually research the various forms of FGM and MGM--you might be shocked to find that for every form of FGM, there is a worse form of MGM. Just something to think about.
To me the way to empower women is to give them factual and scientific information so they can make intelligent and educated decisions--for themselves, and their children.
