I have read up and studied numerous practices that many would consider crazy, abuse, or out right cruelty. Oddly enough even the US has a few on that list, circumcision anyone?
The reality is that the US (and most western countries) have very few if any "practices" where men get to inflict painful and barbaric torture onto women and girls.

Circumcision is a much different sort of situation. It isn't done to make a boy obedient or make it so that he cannot have sex, but rather as an act which leads (in some opinions) to cleanliness. If they were actually cutting the penis off except for a small stump, you might have something to discuss.
