This world is full of morons, the video is exhibit 124323234224323132132 Z-4. Let's just ignore the simple fact that a rapist could stick his finger (or anything else such as a dildo) in the woman and find the damn thing and pretend that it actually would get stuck on a violent rapist's penis. You don't think that a rapist might become enraged by finding this device on his penis and bash a woman's skull in? Watch cops and see how occasionally a large suspect shakes off being tazed when in a rage and think about it for a second. Shouldn't the news people actually ask simple questions like that?
Here is another question they might want to ask, the thing looks pretty soft such that you might be able to remove it and turn it inside out and use it against the woman.................. possible? Rapists are sick bastards, they might enjoy such things.
Both good points, bodyman. It was discussed elsewhere. Or the woman might be anally or orally raped. Or raped with a foreign object. In the Congo, women are mass raped with guns, knives, tools, literally torn to pieces, as an act of war. Rape starts with attitude. There are societies that have much higher rates of rape than others and we all have the same human genes. Attitudes towards women, towards violence, what is admired in a man (physical toughness vs. mental/emotional characteristics), overall security, wealth equality and opportunity - these are what impact rape. Not gadgets. Mind you, I think a woman is justified in doing anything to stop/catch a rapist, but tricks ultimately won't solve the problem. Do you know, there are countries where young girls, 14, 15, 16, walk home from movies and parties at midnight and no one thinks to worry about their safety?
Are you saying it's a bad thing that your personality precludes you being a rapist? Do you consider being a rapist admirable? Or merely funny?
Setting aside gender for a moment. Imagine you're some scrawny 130lb guy in prison. Some massive 300 pound dude decides he wants to rape your ass. Would you rather have that condom in there or not? Myself, I'd take my chances with the condom. Fucker may kill you either way. At least you know he paid a hell of a price.
Reminds me of the scene in Shawshank Redemption where Andy educates Boggs on the effect a blow to the head has on the bite reflex. "Anything you put in my mouth you're gonna lose."
Another issue is that it puts rape prevention solely on women. As though men have nothing to do with rape?
I like how people in this thread just seem to be hating on this device. Would you rather it not exist at all? Obviously it's not perfect, but it's something. It will work for some people, and that's a good thing. Does it need to be improved? Absolutely. Is it garbage and won't work? From what I've read, I don't think so.
No, I'm saying my personality is such that I have yet to be raped. Hell, I couldn't get a hand job in a crack house with an 8-ball taped to my nuts.
If you're living in an area where you feel you have to put one of these in yourself whenever you go out, it's time to move.
No, it doesn't. It gives women a tool they didn't have before, without removing any that already existed. How is fewer options a bad thing?
Sure, in the same way that owning a cheeseburger puts hunger prevention solely on the owner of the cheeseburger. If you own a cheeseburger, there's absolutely nothing anybody else on the planet can do to prevent starvation.
Just pour concrete in all your crevices and you won't be raped. If this device was used in the US, there would be an increase in the number of rapes ending in murder. Hopefully the guy would kill himself after the rage died down but women would literally be killed. It is the year 2010, we could modernize the chastity belt and equip them with pepper spray that gets anyone within 3 feet of it when the belt is removed improperly. It could be all digital and have a code that is required to remove it. If I were a woman, I would rather get the pepper spray along with the perp over getting initial penetration. With this stupid condom, you only get raped for a few seconds. I would rather just NOT get raped, but that is just me. I also think that 99 percent of rapists should probably just be put down like a rabid pit bull, if someone raped someone I loved they better hope they get a long long long prison sentence to delay what they would have in store for them from me.
