Attempting to claim that dick = clit is as retarded as the "If man descended from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?" argument against evolution.

Physical sexual expression is a result of differentiation that takes place during development of the embryo. You can think of it as that dicks and clits have common ancestors, but that's as far as it goes. It's like asking if male and female orgasms are the same. Sure there are similarities but no, they are clearly not the same.

They are the same up until, I think, the 5th week of gestation. At that point, about 3 genes on the Y chromosome become active. That causes a rush of DHT, thus stunting the "Mullerian tubes" and causing the "Wolfian Tubes" to develop. Thus what would have been the clitoris and the urethra start to grow, along with all the other differences. What would have been the labia closes up, etc.
