South Africa anti-rape condom aims to stop attacks
here
odd huh?

 

[Just_Spectating]

the condom is mediaeval and barbaric

qft.

 

[Ghost765]

yet, i think it would work.

 

[Just_Spectating]

What about anal rape?
And if this is succesful, the glory will be short lived. attackers will simply insert a finger to feel for it before going about their business

qft?

 

[Ghost765]

why are u picking a fight with me T_T

 

[Just_Spectating]

im not...

im just reading the article and posting in quotes i believe.


especially this one..

13 reasons

It is a gruesome looking device but without a doubt this contracption would in the end only help. Besides, if this idea is a little too much, I think it will open doors that will prompt people to create other ways that could prevent rapes. Especially since I know as a women myself, I never thought that I could protect myself without having to resort to carrying a weapon or even learning skills that could protect me.

as well, i think that in the case of an attack, i wouldnt even have my wits about to use said skills or weapons. the rapex would be protection that i wouldnt have to think of

first, you aren't protected from anal rape.

second, If the rapist knows what has happened instantly, they will probably kill the woman by beating her to death (if the victim is a woman).

third, If the victims are children, they won't have this thing inserted into them all the time rendering it useless.

fourth, I know a lot of sick women out there who would definitely trick a guy into sex only to cry rape later to get back at him for something. Yes, women can be disgustingly sadistic sometimes.

fifth, this is sexual mutilation from what I have read and that doesn't rest well with me. What if a girl has one in and forgets (as many women forget about having tampons in, taking the pill etc.) and goes home to do her boyfriend and he gets all cut up and has to get surgery on his penis?

sixth, there are plenty of self defense weapons that women could carry and use so I don't see a need for something this weird. If a woman won't carry a gun into a dangerous area, she ought not to go to that area. There are knives, guns, mace, stun-guns, high pitch alarms etc.

seventh, the reason AIDS is so high in Africa has less to do with rape and more to do with the corruption of governments. The governments allow poverty and rape to occur. Create a device to employ a better government.

eighth, If Aids is the main concern for being raped, a female condom being worn alone should take care of that problem, of course, that doesn't stop the anal rape which is far more likely to result in being infected with AIDS.

ninth, This is the most important factor: if this becomes widely used and well known, rapists will check for the device first, probably with a broomstick or leather gloves. If found, the victim will probably be killed after the rape for having it inserted. Possibly rapes will then start with a painful object doing damage to the vagina before being raped by the men.

tenth, Unless it is worn all the time, it will be far less likely that it will work and I wouldn't want to wear a plastic thing in my hoo-haa all the time. Also is it painful to wear?

eleventh, Is it safe for the person wearing it? How is it manufactured and could it come apart and get stuck inside the woman? If so, the woman would have to have surgery and that might be worse than a rape. I have had many condoms break on me.

twelvth, A rapist could potentially say you were willing and sue for pain and suffering. This also means he would be back out on the street and could get revenge on you and your family and keep raping others.

thirteenth, this doesn't protect men from anal rape and especially doesn't protect men or women in prison that get raped everyday. Prison rape is far more rampant in the US than rape on civilians per capita.

@Original Poster: I think you should mark that link as 'NSFW' considering the content.

Noble effort, but this is not exactly doing anything to help against rape. Sure the rapist gets what he deserves, but that does not prevent him from harming the woman. Further, criminals are smart. They will learn to pry these things out of woman or violate another orifice.

A better anti-rape device would be a lethal weapon. Arm and train the women of South Africa with handguns and those rape numbers should go way down.

Aww...man! Now I can't rape anymore...
Lol, just kidding, but I must agree with Just Spectating the device looks rather uneffective, and could be misused.

 

[Huurka]

Aww...man! Now I can't rape anymore...
Lol, just kidding

NO YOU DID NOT!


Rapist.

 

[Urlock]

I found a site with the same article without the image of a dildo (here). If the link has to be taken down, could it be replaced by this one to continue the discussion?

 

[HappyTauren]

Interesting discussion, guys...

 

[Ghost765]

im just saying its odd. nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Japut3h]

Dumbest. Invention. Ever.

If people really start buying this, I'm patenting my anti-mugger C4 wallets. At least it's better than placing razorblades in your vagina.

 

[Just_Spectating]

This Just In

"Anti-Anti-Comoms!"

(apply onto penis and it will neutralize the anti-condom)

 

[Voidwalker]

Meh, condoms are as effective as anti-virus software.
