I don't know. I mean, there are different versions of the practice and some of them are much different. If we were talking excision of the clitoral hood and/or the labia minora, then I would agree. However, clitoridectomies and infibulation are things that also fall under what we typically call FGM (or FGO, if we want to take a relativistic stance on the topic). To compare a clitoridectomy, the glans penis would have to be cut off entirely. There is no comparable version of infibulation, as far as I know.
