Anti-rape condom?

[ErinIsBadNews]

I just wrote a huge post and decided to put my huge soap box away and go for a smaller one. Basically I think it's ridiculous and dangerous. I think this could cause great harm to women, emotionally and physically. There has to be penetration for this thing to work, so she's already been raped and now you're risking further violence. Yes, it punishes the criminal but the guy can still say she set him up. She even addresses this issue in the Frequently Asked Questions section. I think it creates more fear of being raped. I just don't like the idea and yes I have reasons and statistics if anyone needs them.

What she said, this is really dangerous.

You just took a rapist and hurt him bad enough to piss him off more but not necessarily enough to incapacitate him so he can't hurt you worse. Uh uh. Bad idea.

I think this is secretly a Lorraine Bobbit invention.

No, because from what I understand it doesn't cause amputation. It looks like the little razor things just clamp down. I'm waiting for some chick to get drunk, forget she has it in, and then have to explain to the triage at ER why she has that contraption clamped down on her finger.

Agreed. There's no telling what a rapist with some painful contraption stuck to his penis and possibly a knife or gun might do to you.

Any self-defense device has to be enough to stop your attacker long enough for you to get away. I'll stick to my stun gun & pepper spray, thanks.

This is one of my biggest fears, so THEORETICALLY this is a good idea to me. But that's only theoretically. I think that if I feel so uncomfortable that I have to wear piranha-condom, then it's a place I probably shouldn't go.
