Male circumcision is a way of decreasing risk of infection, including HIV. Female circumcision has not been shown to have any health benefits. Also, female circumcision isn't usually just the removal of skin (ie, the hood of the clitoris) it can be the removal of the entire clitoris.

I agree with what you said.
I also wanted to add...
Most girls having this done..Are actually done in a way that is very un sterile and usually without any numbing and with objects very dangerious.
Here in the states when males are done..They do numb the tops and only remove the very top layer..they do not take the whole thing off or mutilate it.
Just my opinion.
