Are clitorises not exactly that? Underdeveloped penises?
2 comments

No, penises are overdeveloped clitorises. The clitoris predates the penis, and was adapted in mammals for fertilization.
No, they develop from the same embryonic tissue, but clitoris is not a type of penis, and a penis is not a type of clitoris. They have different structure and function.
