Kathrin Gebel’s apology was a classic deadpan political joke:
“I have to apologize because I recently said nonsense in the Bundestag. The clitoris doesn’t have 3,000 nerve endings. It has 10,000.”
She then says that confusing the number is understandable because women’s bodies and women’s health have long been neglected in research. She also adds that she wasn’t trying to compare Martin Reichardt to a vulva, because the vulva is strong and resilient—and her point was that he isn’t.
