This is interesting...
The way to combat rape is to have women walk around with Rape-aXe condoms inserted?

A South African doctor has invented a so-called 'anti-rape' condom for women that features "teeth" that grip a man's penis.
Dr. Sonnet Ehlers hopes the Rape-aXe condom will combat rape in the most painful way possible.
According to Ehlers, the condom is inserted by women like a tampon and its jagged teeth-like hooks inside attach to a man's penis during intercourse.
Once it grabs hold, only a doctor can remove it.
Ehlers hoped this will help authorities to catch offenders.
"It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on," Ehlers said.
"If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter... however, it doesn't break the skin, and there's no danger of fluid exposure."
"The ideal situation would be for a woman to wear this when she's going out on some kind of blind date ... or to an area she's not comfortable with," Ehlers said.
The doctor is distributing 30,000 of these condoms in South Africa during this year's World Cup.
South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world, according to Human Rights Watch. It is also believed that 16 percent of the population is living with HIV.
Critics suggest the condom puts women at risk of further violence from men trapped by the device and reminded women of their vulnerability.

I don't think I've heard an idea as stupid as this one. Can't picture anything going wrong here.
Best defense against rape would be a 9mm discharged into the rapists forehead. A public service and the stopping of a crime all rolled into one.
BTW, hello all, great forum.

I don't see how anything that deters or stops a rapist is a stupid idea. Look up the rape statistics in South Africa and you'll see that anything that helps a women out is a good idea.

This is idiocy. Once word gets around, the rapist will simply check for the contraption before proceeding. This thing will not do any good at all. It will probably make things worse for the woman. It's obvious this thing was invented by some frizzy haired, fuzzy lipped, man-hating feminist, simply to make her feel good.
totally useless and dangerous.

i actually kinda agree, i think it will lead to killing in more(most) cases, obviously the guy with that stuck on and in pain will be more than a little angry

I kind of see your point but I think this might take the attention away from the women and to assailants penis. I might give someone some space to run away. I have taken a couple soccer balls in that area and it was not fun.

I have also thought that this is a horrible idea. The kind of person who commits rape is also capable of murder, as many rape cases do end in the woman being murdered.
This could in some cases worsen the situation.
Give them handguns for self defense.

Is it just me, or does this give a new meaning to when someone says a Vag looks like a venus fly trap? (Little Shop of Horrors anyone?)
In professional wrestling, this could be called the Death C**t Clutch
God help whoever gets trapped in that..

Yeah it seem easily bypassed enough by sticking a finger up there. Plus, i can't really speak for women, but i wouldn't really like having to walk around with that thing up my vagina.
