It's just what you're used to. In this country, circumcision isn't anything like as usual as it is over in the US.
JustJess, it's not equivalent to having your clitoris sliced off, that would be the same as cutting off the glans... think of it more like having the hood that covers your clitoris taken off.
I know that what we understand as 'female circumcision' isn't exactly the same as it is in the case of males, but if you're looking for the conceptual equivalent, that - to my understanding - would be it.
Completely unnecessary.
