Except it's not the same thing. Not even close.
FGM has a high infection (fistulas, open wounds, sepsis, cysts and a whole slew of other unpleasant side effects should she survive) and death rate in unlike circumcision of the penis. Childbirth carries high risk of death as well.
Its sole purpose throughout centuries was to control and contain a woman's sexuality.
FGM removes sexual pleasure COMPLETELY from the woman and not only does it remove pleasure, but it makes sex as painful as possible for her for the rest of her life as in FGM a woman's vagina is also almost stitched up completely after FGM is performed. A cruel and doubled edge sword.
