The procedures are different and the results are different. But the fact remains that each sex is mutilated and tortured. American parents tend to automatically have their sons circumcised, acting with blind faith in their doctors. The medical profession is ignoring their responsibility to educate these parents so that they can make an informed choice. The fact that they are kept in the dark on the subject is likely deliberate.

The cut is made. The parents know no different. They too are likely deliberately kept in the dark. Each culture needs to be fully educated on the subjects of male and female circumcision. There is no abuse, no awareness that an inhumane act has occurred, only misinformation.
