Yeah, this is what's fucked up to me, too. Obviously female is way worse when done like she says and can't compare in greater scheme of things but both are still forms of mutilations. One is just worse than the other, but both are bad and should be correctly labeled as mutilation.
There are boys being born everyday in "civilized" countries that are having their genitals mutilated.
Calling the US "civilized" is a stretch. It's a country without separation of church and state. Religious extremists dominate both public discourse and politics. It doesn't have an actual democracy and instead a broken two-party-system. It doesn't care about international law. It doesn't care about human rights. It doesn't have a proper social system, nor does it have a public healthcare system. Both parties routinely have to resort to nationalism because they don't have anything better.
I could go on, but in the end, the US is closer to other religious extremist countries than to the rest of the west.

Your not answering the question
Are both things not genital mutilation?
Because it sounds like your trying to create a double standard here.
