"The Skene's gland, also known as the paraurethral gland, found in females, is homologous to the prostate gland in males. In 2002, the Skene's gland, was officially renamed the prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology. The female prostate, like the male prostate, secretes PSA and levels of this antigen rise in the presence of carcinoma of the gland. The gland also expels fluid, like the male prostate, during orgasm. Researchers argue that the organ should therefore be called a female prostate and not "Skene's gland"."

Our tax dollars at work.
