Again an unnecessary jump. Why would you compare the two?
Circumcision is almost always done to an infant who is unable to say no to such a procedure, granted there are parents who will pierce the ears of their infant daughters (a practice I also disagree with) but the number of parents who don't far outweighs that number.
Invalid comparison altogether.

what are you talking about? a significant portion of american girls have their ears pierced before they're 6 months old. a majority have them pierced before they're 10. they can't say no and it doesn't matter if they do. almost no girl waits until an age of legal consent
and circumcision is safer as a neonate or infant. complication rates quadruple for young children as opposed to infants. it's medically preferable to perform the surgery on an infant instead of waiting until they're old enough to give an opinion that a parent would disregard anyway
