Can a Clitoridectomy be considered a form of physical lobotomy?

These two procedures are done for two very different reasons. Lobotomy, back in the old days, was seen as a cure for various kinds of mental illnesses; while many of us are horrified by it today, at the time, those in the medical community who championed it believed it would be helpful for stopping violent behaviors, delusions, etc. In modern times, attitudes have changed about it, as we have learned that it severely damages a person's brain and it does more harm than good. This procedure is seldom if ever performed today.

Clitoridectomy, however, (better known as female genital mutilation) is still performed, usually in third-world cultures where it is believed women's sexuality must be controlled or eliminated entirely. In these cultures, women are subordinate, and they are only supposed to have sex to produce children, rather than to feel any pleasure. Removing the clitoris makes it impossible for the woman to experience sexual enjoyment. While both procedures have negative consequences, I am not sure I would equate the two.
