Rape-Stopper Has Teeth
Topics: Human Interest
It looks as though women in South Africa will soon have an edge (and I do mean edge) over intended rapists:
Later this month, South African women will be able to arm their vaginas with the Rapex device, a product priced at 1 rand (around 7p) and sold over the counter. Shaped like a female condom and worn internally, its hollow interior is lined with 25 razor-sharp teeth, which fasten on to an attacker's penis if he attempts penetration.If there was ever a way of deterring a rapist, this is it (the device is called RapeX). But the woman wearing it had better tell the guy about it first, because once penetration is made, he's going to be one reeeeeeeally pissed off dude. On the other hand, unlike Pavlov's dogs, it won't take more than one "lesson" for a rapist to learn that "no means no," provided he's still interested in even being around a woman after his first lesson.
