German MP's Sharp Response to Far-Right Lawmaker on Women's Rights Debate Goes Viral
During a March Bundestag debate on women's rights, German MP Kathi Gebel of the left-wing Die Linke party responded sharply to far-right AfD MP Martin Reichardt's interruption by saying, "The clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you are still more sensitive." The remark sparked laughter and surprise in parliament and went viral months later after Gebel reposted it on social media. Gebel later corrected the anatomical detail, clarifying the clitoris has about 10,000 nerve endings. The exchange has prompted discussions on parliamentary rhetoric and women's rights.
