ok here's me trying to bring this convo full circle, since this thread is being claimed as a "train wreck"
the purpose of the woman who created this product seemed to have this is mind - making the woman a little more "responsible" for being in a situation where she may be raped. thing is, ANY time is the time for a woman to be taken advantage of and furthermore its not like a woman is 100% helpless in said scenario. like its been mentioned, its never a woman's fault that she is raped but she CAN take preventative measures to minimize the chances of it happening. that doesn't mean "hey go ahead and walk down that dark alley half-tipsy with fishnets and a short skirt with that sketchy guy you met at the bar" but it does mean "sure you can wear that skirt if you want but understand the kind of attention (warranted or not) you will attract. and sure, go home with that guy, but think long and hard first - is this something youre gonna regret in the morning? does this guy pose a risk to my safety? do i have a plan B if something goes down that i dont like?"
now does living in a continuous state of paranoia and wearing a plastic d*ck clamp (which i see as an emotional and physical hassle, as well as a potential health risk, thought the site says there arent any

and a financial burden, as it can get costly) everyday solve the problem of the hundreds of rapes that happen on a daily basis? hell no. does it attempt to give some power to the women who are caught in this scenario? yes. does it do it well? not so much.
