Fellas… Africa ain’t the US. There ain’t no doctors readily available, nor police, etc. S.Africa is the most stable Sub-Saharan African state. So if the stats are that bad there, just imagened what it is like elsewhere. To put it in prespective, a woman is in constant danger of being raped while a man is in constant danger of being killed.
That being said I am not in favor of this device. Simply because any woman who hurts her rapist this way is sure to be tortured and killed as revenge by the attacker and/or his buddies. And made an example for all the women in the village and nearby areas.
This thing is simply too short sighted… now in a country like the US, Canada, England, yeah sure that thing can work here.

You aren’t suggesting a Bobby Knight attitude towards rape are you? “I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.”
I get what you are saying, and it is terrible that women are weaker than men, but that doesn’t mean they can’t fight back or that they shouldn’t.

What he is suggesting is that violent backlash is a very likely possibility. Women are weaker, and the backlash could result in permanent injury or death.
For that reason alone I personally have to worry about how sensible this idea is.[/quote]
This exactly. People arent stupid. You arent going to trick the gang of guys who plans to rape a woman by putting a penis trap in her vagina.
My question is how does one envision a society becoming more civilized if their women are being conditioned to expect being raped (even if they ALREADY expect to be rape, which I’d bet a lot do if the statistics are accurate, this ONLY reinforce that idea). It’s insane.
Obviously rape is a terrible thing, no sane person argues otherwise. But this isn’t the same as a cop wearing a bullet proof vest. This device will have an impact on the psyche of the women wearing it and generate extreme rage for the man who gets one on him which will undoubtedly be taken out on the woman.
I agree that the device will likely decrese the number of “successful” (for lack of a better term) rapes but the mental aspect of being attacked is still there.
This is like putting a bandaid on a chainsaw wound when it comes to this particular society.
Maybe the next step is to round up all men capable of getting an erection and chop their dicks off. It’s not like men wont any other ways to oppress women in a lawless society or anything. [/quote]
Did you read the article or just the headline?
Women are already inserting sponges with razor blades into their vaginas, babies are being raped to cure AIDS, rape is not a crime that is being brought to the courts.
What is your solution?
Instead of rounding up all the poor men that are going to be a victim to such a terrible thing when they are raping a girl that should just lay back and take it, maybe we should remove all the women from South Africa to some place where they don’t have to live their life waiting for them or their babies to be raped.

I saw this story over a week ago.
I understand that women are already doing retarded things to prevent rape. Now it’s turning into a scientific endeavor of the blind leading the blind. It’s a BAD plan. The only thing preventing this from being worse is that the woman is not making money off it, yet.
The solution? CIVILIZE THE POPULATION. Reinforcing barbarism is just stupid. Im not an anthropologist. I dont know the best way to turn country of possible rapists into a 21st century society. But obviously there is a way to do it. Case in point: the rest of the civilized world. [/quote]
The rest of the world? Like honor killings, bride immolation, cutting off a nose for disgracing the family, genital mutilation, sewing shut a vagina so the female won’t enjoy sex, beating a woman if she shows any portion of her skin, beating a woman for driving a car or having a job or going to school, stoning to death a woman for bearing a child of rape, killing babies because they are female.
It isn’t that I don’t understand what you are saying, but how do you propose to civilize South Africa? I don’t think a culture that is enjoying this practice of raping women is going to stop because they realize it isn’t civilized.

I specifically said the rest of the CIVILIZED world. I dont consider any of those practices civilized even though they may happen in countries more civilized than South Africa, including the US. Perhaps I should have specifically said “civilized populations”.
I already said I’m not an anthropologist. I took two anthro classes in undergrad. I dont have an answer for that. But it sounds like youre implying that razor blades in a vagina is leading people down the path of civilization. That’s just not true. This is equivalent to Hannibal’s “eye for an eye” code.
What’s going to happen when a mother gets raped with one of these. But instead of just being raped (again, excuse the downplaying of the act) she is now killed by the rapist. Her children are now motherless instead of the still horrible alternative. There is so much that can go wrong with this “solution” Im amazed people think this will lead to any progress whatsoever.
