It will just make them adapt their behavior. Sure before word gets out it's likely to snare a few but eventually you'll have a situation where women are probed with objects like sticks and what not before the rapist penetrates. Personally I'd rather see a weapon developed that women have easy access to that protects them long before they are thrown to the ground and penetrated by objects or flesh.
They need something that works before the rapists has a chance to probe at all. Something that actually prevents the rape from happening. Sure it may feel good to know that some a$$hole who tried to get a piece of you without your consent got bit by your vaginal teeth but then you still got to deal with that a$$hole and now he's pissed and probably wild like an animal in a trap.  And the next time he's gonna make sure you don't get a chance to bite and at the end of the day women will be worse off. I stand by my assertion that it's an absurd invention and not very well thought out at all. | Good post...
My old martial arts instructor had a great saying, when he was teaching womens self defense. He said, All this technique is nice, but violence rules the day. If you are being attacked, you have to be able to take the violence to a level your attacker is not prepared to commit to themselves. You have to go beyond what they are going to do. You have to commit yourself to be nastier and meaner than your enemy is, otherwise you will lose.

That was a lesson I learned the hard way on the playground. It’s also something I do here in debate from time to time….taking the hysterics to a level neither 1069 nor OKGranny are willing to go…with Hang’ing Kits and the like….want a Spork? |

| Re: RAPEX: bizarre new anti-rape device. An acquaintance's daughter is going to Africa as an exchange student for journalism. I told her she needed to be careful b/c Africa is the rape capital of the world. She replied with..well there's rapes here on campus.
Yea ok.....15 or so rapes a yr do NOT compare to quadruple that on a DAILY basis. |

I don't know....seems like a dangerous chance to take if you really think you may be a victim of rape, wouldn't mace, or a taser work better? | First of all...If a mans intent is to take what is not his, he deserves what he gets. Secondly, I have seen guys walk right through mace and tazers and such...but you rack a guy good and they are going down. I don't even want to think of how long he will stay down after he gets his come upance. If he was planning to rape he would most likely enforce it with violence so what are you really risking? The plus here is the woman would be protected against unwanted pregnancy and disease. I say make'em by the millions!!!
Most men are decent, but the minority that aren't deserve instant justice.
