In Germany (and much of Europe), the native inhabitants tend to argue there is moral equivalence between customary male circumcision and customary female circumcision and both should be proscribed. In Sierra Leone (and several other countries in Africa), the native inhabitants tend to argue there is moral equivalence between customary male circumcision and customary female circumcision and both should be permitted. In the United States, the native inhabitants tend to argue against moral equivalence, permitting customary circumcisions for boys while proscribing them for girls. Who has the better of the argument?”"

I think this is a hard argument to rebut because no one really want to talk about the reason male and female circumcision are different. But they are different. Male circumcision still allows a man to enjoy sex. Does it reduce the enjoyment? Maybe some, but I doubt significantly. However, as I understand it, female circumcision dramatically reduces sexual pleasure for women.

As best I can tell, "female circumcision" is used to describe a variety of procedures ranging from more or less the equivalent of male circumcision to complete cliteridectomy. So at one extreme your statement is correct, at the other it is false.
