Does the Genesis 17 Covenant of Circumcision show that God has a special relationship with men that He does not have with women? Does Circumcision make men more special?

Perhaps the opposite. Per Jewish teaching, women are "born circumcised," and are therefore under the Covenant from the beginning. It is only men who must be "fixed."
