Here's a link to the original idea, http://www.femdefence.info/index2.html That's the original 'rape protection' patent and I just read through it again it looks like they've changed off the original idea which was really really cool. The ORIGINAL idea, was not to actually produce the item, but simply market it widely as though it *were* available. The actual marketing of the item itself would work as a deterrant (a potential one) for would-be rapists... led to believe through marketing that such an item was there for women to protect themselves, they'd think twice about raping a woman who may or may not have one. (obviously they wouldn't know until it was 'too late' if the woman *did* have one, and would just rather not run the risk) That was the original patent & seems to have been the foundation for all of these other ones being created... |

Not that I want anything like this to happen, but, human nature ...
The next thing you know we'll be hearing news reports about rapists first using a foam rubber tube, which then takes out the device as it snags it, then them hurting the women more so for trying that in the first place, and then raping them as usual. ![]() For every lock, there's a key. For every safe, a way in. For every castle wall, a siege engine. Remember The Club for cars? Took the criminals about eight years, but they finally figured out two quick saw cuts on the steering wheel defeated it. |

Like all "violent crime deterrents," from the anti-rape thing to the death penalty, these are made under the grand illusion that criminals stand around thinking and weighing the pros and cons before they commit a crime.
Years ago, colleges found a great way to cut down assaults on women. Across the nation, campuses instituted programs where guys simply walked women back to their dorms, back to their cars, wherever they needed to go after dark. Women in the company of a male don't get assaulted with nearly the frequency of women alone. I like to think that it gave nice people the chance to meet, too, but I'm a romantic. The difficult thing has always been protecting yourself from the few without taking it out on the many. |
