They sort of go together don’t they?

Filed under: Uncategorized

This from Corvid Diaries and This from a day or so ago here. Although, Corvid, I do disagree with you in that this won’t stop anyone being raped, but it does look like it collects physical evidence if you are. However there are so many products playing on women’s imposed insecurities that I can see your point. It implies that you WILL be raped and you may as well give in and use this to collect some evidence.

The Anti-Rape Condom

If you are out on a date you can either insert the device before going out, or if during the date you are uncomfortable about your date partner, excuse yourself to the bathroom and insert the device. For the first time there is now incriminating evidence, it will no longer be your word against his!

So, you can be raped now and this little beauty will save evidence for you so you can report him later. Excellent.

Oh apart from the actual getting raped part, and the having to relive it over and over with very little chance of conviction even with evidence.  

And, blimey, look at the FAQ on the actual product site!  

  • Have you ever been raped? (Question to Sonnett Ehlers – inventor)
  • Do you hate men? (Question to Sonette Ehlers – inventor)
  • Will it cause permanent damage to the rapist?
  • Will women not use this to frame men?

No she hasn’t - she says so in the answer there.

No, she doesn’t, like most women she just hates rape.

Apparently not if he seeks medical attention swiftly, but who cares?

Of course, happens all the time right? emoticon  Women are just out to get you…. Seriously, there is always the possibility in a tiny number of cases but surely the advantages of having evidence for better levels of prosecution and conviction are there too? Oh, assuming you can get someone to listen in the first place….. There being way too few Rape Crisis centres….

*sigh*
