The moral difference as I see it is that male circumcision has been traditionaly performed as a religious rite, meant to affirm the male child's membership in a particular religious community..
Female circumcision has been used mainly as a means of subjugating women.
I agree that the practice of male circumcision is brutal and should be ended. However I also see a moral disctinction between male vs. female circumcision.
