Female circumcision involves removing the clitoris....equivalent to cutting your entire penis off. It is done so that the women will not enjoy sex, and thus, will be more likely to be faithfull to her husband when she grows up. As far as I understand, the womens family has this done to her so she will not dishoner them by being unfaithfull to the person they make her marry.
Are you seriously claiming that they are equivalent?
I don't know about you, but I am circumcised, and I find myself enjoying sex all the time....perhaps circumcision is a foolish custom based on mislead beliefs on health, but it is not a debilitating one.
And to respond to another above poster....Just because a tradition is ancient, doesn't mean it should be allowed to continue. I have no respect for this kind of behavior, regardless of the reason. We can't allow people to rape and murder while hiding behind religion, nor can we allow them to mutillate and rob women of their sexuality.

I can say it because it's true. Everyone pities women and ignores the the fact that a similar mutilation happens to men and it is totally accepted.
