The purpose of the edict is not to protect men's genitals, it's to punish women. Otherwise the edict would have included both sexes. There is nothing special about a woman's hands nor men's junk. This could have some carryover of god not knowing that semen isn't a "seed" and women being more than just a fertile womb, but that is already reading a lot into it.
You could cut off a man's hand just as well... that is if you were a real asshole god.
