Or potential rapists. Makes me wonder about the authors radical feminist political viewpoints.

Oh. so this is where you were getting your rant from last night....
i understand what you are saying, however, there are a number of men out there who do violate women, and abuse them (verbally, sexually, physically) and women have a responsibility to protect themselves. chivalry is just about dead and everything that goes along with it, and women need to be aware of their surroundings and be smart about the situations they put themselves into.
I am a feminist, but I also think that we teach people how to treat us (to quote dr. phil
) and in so many situations men and women allow themselves to get stepped on (myself definately included....
) and its a process to learn how to keep this from happening....
HOWEVER
there are a great many victims, regardless of what they have done or not done and this is still an awful fact.
so... in conclusion, i think the availability of such a device could potentially help some but could also could be used in such a way that is detrimental to others (that don't deserve it).
