a prepuce is not a foreskin

No, in a male the prepuce is the foreskin and in a female the prepuce is the hood of the clitoris.

"prepuce (Science: anatomy) A covering fold of skin, often used alone to designate the preputium penis. A fold of skin covering the tip of the clitoris. A fold of skin covering the tip of the penis. The mammalian foreskin."

So I smacked a straw man, and it's beside the point. Clitoridectomy is still not the same as circumcision, and attempts to equate the two are unhealthy.
