No, it is absolutely not for the same reason and certainly not at the same age. You cannot compare a days old infant’s less developed nerve response to an older child’s more developed nerve response, not to forget an older child’s more developed awareness, and you cannot compare medical and hygienic reasons to non-medical and sexual-response limiting reasons. Add to that, that adult men who get circumcised are usually the ones who decide whether or not they want the procedure; young girls are not allowed to decline and are unlikely to be informed of the negative consequences.
