Is the Clitoris a Tiny Penis?
Listen now
Description
Between the covers of a medical school anatomy textbook, you'd expect to find all of the knowledge we've accumulated on the human body over the millennia. Every bone, muscle, and tendon accounted for. But there's one organ that's missing.   Throughout history, the clitoris has been ignored, misidentified, and deemed vestigial. Even today, 90 percent of the organ is left out of the textbooks.  Is this pleasure producing part of the female anatomy some leftover hand me down from male genetics or something entirely different? Like the clitoris, the truth can be hard to find. That's why we're exploring anatomy, embryology, and physiology to learn more about this hot button topic and find out if the c**t is simply just a teeny tiny penis. That's what you're in for today on Impolite Society.  Email us your impolite questions at [email protected] and visit our website for info about the show and your hosts Laura and Rachel.
