So the inventor expects women to wear this all the time?

Its bit a impracticle.

If a women is that worried about getting raped she should just get a gun, therefore lowering the risk of the rapist retaliating.

[dopediana]

i doubt one would wear it all the time. but if you're walking home late from work alone or you have another genuine concern, fine. rapists deserve to have their dicks maimed anyways.

Can you imagine if the woman forgot to take this off when with her partner.

Owwwwwwwwww.

Though it seems a good idea and if a couple of rapists were caught this way, then the myths would soon spread. Hopefully leading to a reduction in rapes. Which is undoubtably a good thing.

What if a rapist had/paid some women to come to the hospitial and give this and excuse when goes to have it removed.

Makes me think of the head scarf Muslim women are required to wear (in islamic extremist countries).

they are for the same purpose.

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

There was a thread about this a month ago.

[bombeverything]

It seems a bit dramatic to me. I don't believe that living in fear that you are going to be raped everytime you step outside the house alone is healthy.

What do you mean?

[RedStarOverChina]

the head scarfs are meant to "protect" women from sinful men who might find women attractive. By wearing a scarf a women disguises her beauty and thus is less likely to get raped.

But of course, rape still happens for some reason. Evn tho I'm a guy, I find it to be fairer and more effective if you force all men to wear super-thick underwear, or make us walk with our hands above our heads. Wonder why the Muslim scholars didnt think of that.

I don't think so. South Africa has an extremely high rate of rapes and something like this could be a deterrant. Although I agree, a gun would just be more simple and effective. There is numerous problems with this condom, though.

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

Numerous problems with giving guns to people that don't know how to use them too.

[Mujer Libre]

And in South Africa the rapist probably has a gun too, so he'd just shoot you. :(

It's fucked up that women should even have to consider something like this, but as somone said, if it spreads as an urban myth hopefully it will act as a deterrant.

I doubt very much that simply having one of these attatched to you would be grounds for a rape conviction, the main point would be to act as a detterence, to stop the rape, and even to provide some extrajudicial punishment.

Of course it isn't, but that doesn't mean it's not justified. And I hardly see how wearing this would increase one's fear of being raped.

That's a pretty fucking tenuous connection. That's like saying that carrying a gun for protection is just like religion cause religion is supposed to make people not attack you, but they still do. Therefore carrying a gun is pointless. I ain't never seem a headscarf jump up and attack a rapist, maybe there's a difference...?

Most of these problems, however, can be prevented by, well, training. Also, tasers and the like work well with much less risk.

What, fighting back against rape?

I was simply trying to say that it seems a little over the top. It might not increase the fear, but it would certainly play on it by making it real.

Yeah I didn't really understand the connection made. To me there is a significant difference between a religious belief and a material device used to prevent rape.

[rioters bloc]

rape isn't about sexual attraction. it's about power. so wearing a headscarf might make a woman even more likely to be raped, if the guy was also anti-muslim.

The hijab can also be a symbol of liberation. It isn't always forced.

[Commie Rat]

ouch
nice idear though, hope it rips the basterds dick off

[Anarchist Freedom]

That is kind of barbaric if you ask me. Its a step in the right direction but OWWWWWWWWWW.

[Entrails Konfetti]

The three main problems I see with this are:

1. Doesn't reduce the risk of aids, infact probably encourages it, seeing how the barbed pieces cut up the rapists penis and there is nothing to stop the blood from going into the cervix.

2. Theres a good possibilty of the rapist retaliating when finding his penis all cut up.

3. Sharing unclean rapex condoms.

Instead of barbs, a stun device should be in its place, but that probably wouldn't be afordable for most African women.

Though the stun device, if placed in such away as it has no affect on the women, could paralyze the rapist long enough so that she could escape and get the authorities.

Thats an obvious flaw but at least he's less likely to rape after that

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

What about the rapists blood getting inside of the woman? What about when the rapist gets very angry after this little thing clamps on to him and beats the woman to death?

These are all things brought up on the original thread.

I know. I said they are required to wear it in Islamic extremist countries or regions. I dont have too big of a problem with it (I still dont agree with it) unless women are forced to wear it.

[citizen_snips]

Being a woman, I'd just like to say, there's no chance in HELL something like that would go anywhere near my personal bits!

Is there not the risk of doing yourself an injury just by sitting down the wrong way???

[Zingu]

Just looking at that made me wince.

Some swedish company also made an anti-rape device, it was a single, big, nasty spike instead of the barbed wire method.

My question is, how do women get it out? :blink:

Yeah, because that's EXACTLY what I meant. :rolleyes:

That we should be in such fear that we have to consider wearing something that is likely to be uncomfortable (and I'm not sure how good wearing something like that a lot of the time is for you) is fucked up.

That being a woman changes how safe you feel is what is fucked up.

[rioters bloc]

reclaim the night yo ;)

[Commie Rat]

Self defence courses work well enough here where i am (Aus) i have personally had the pleasure of witnessing a woman stand up for themselves against a intoxicated man making suggestie comments

[rioters bloc]

ive always wanted to take self-defence classes. ive done a like 2 day course thingy on self-defence against rapists, and i do capoeira, which is cool but i dunno how i would use it in a situation where i actually was in fear of being raped/assaulted

[Dark Exodus]

Any kind of martial art is pretty bad in a fight. It helps before it since a proper stance will help you keep your balance but when you are in the middle of an attack you rarely have enough time to roundhouse-kick the other persons head.

This is what I heard from someone who practises it.

Word

Great idea i think.

[Colombia]

It is an interesting invention and I can see its uses in countries where women are more at risk but I doubt there will be a market for it in America.

True. That is why you should seek practical martial arts.

Wrestling - Helped me a lot. Almost every fight end in a clinch, or at least develop to that stage at one point during the fight.
Judo - Neat tricks, very useful.

Boxing - Most people attack with grappling moves and attacking your face with their fists. Learn how to avoid fists

Krav Maga - Created by the Israeli Defence Force, I believe. There is a civilian and military version of it, I think.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - I have heard this is a very good martial art.


When you train actively in practical martial arts, you will develop muscle memory. If someone hit you or tries to hit you, your body respond, if someone try to take you from behind, your body respond. If you are not training martial arts, and you are liekly to become paralyzed in a fighting situation.

[barret]

I believe that self-defense products, such as pepper spray, stun guns, etc are a much better solution. Leaving a condom in a womans vigina wouldn't be the best thing, the condom could rip as the women is being raped, the rapist could attack the women afterwords after discovering his penis has been cut, and not only that, but the rapist could probably remove the condom if he were to have persay date raped her. The women in these countries are better off with some sortof defense from rapists before they get the chance to rape the women.

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

Martial Arts doesn't help poor black South Africans much.. unless you know of thousands of volunteer instructors that are going to head that way sometime soon.

[intrepid]

It all seems crazy to me since in the future rapists will forego vaginal rape and opt for the more painful anal rape or the inevitable oral rape.

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

That's another good point ..

I was just thinking about that and wouldent the guy check the vagina to see if theres anything in it? So he could just simplly remove it then rape the women.
