Thursday, September 01, 2005 S. African Woman Invents Anti-Rape Condom Reuters: A S. African inventor unveiled a new anti-rape female condom. The "rapex" is worn like a tampon & hooks onto an attacker's penis during penetration. The device is made of latex and held by shafts of sharp barbs, which can only be removed from the man through surgery which will tip off the hospital staff, and ultimately, the police. Some critics have said if a victim is wearing the "rapex" it may enrage the attacker and possibly result in escalated violence against women, and other critics say the condom is medieval and barbaric. Yeah, rape is so civilized eh? |
