Morally, it's absolutely just as bad. Mutilation is mutilation, plain and simple. And there is the obvious exemption of these for reactive medical procedures as opposed to the current method of using mutilation as a preventative. We're not cutting off tits to prevent breast cancer, they get cut off in response to breast cancer. And these genital issues should be the same.
But in terms of numbers and pure statistical analysis, the foreskin holds something like 15,000 nerve endings, which compared to the clitoris itself (not the clitoral hood) only has about 4,000. Mind you, I might be off with my numbers, it's been a while since I've really spoken on this topic but I do remember that the foreskin has significantly more nerve endings than the clitoris.
What probably makes the impact is that women typically have slightly less reliable/accessible high-end erogenous zones from which they can utilize.
As barbaric and senseless circumcision is in either case, males still have access to a substantial amount of high-yield sensation from the glans. Granted, the glans has probably taken a fairly significant hit to its effectiveness thanks to the removal of that foreskin.
And in-case it wasn't already obvious, I am not defending the practice in any way shape or form or denying the very real and needless impact that such damage does.
