Yes, the extreme forms of FGM (including removal of labia) are certainly more extreme than standard male circumcision. But then, is removal of just the clitoral glans ok? Yes or no?
I strongly doubt it. So long as the law is on the side of no female genital mutilation, I guess it doesn't really matter. But that does sound pretty awful in an ongoing way to me.
