Rape-aXe is a product that is designed to help prevent women from being raped. It is also designed to assist in catching rapists. But is it the right product for most women? There’s some controversy about it but it probably has a place in the world.
Some information about Rape-aXe:
- It’s a female condom. It is inserted much in the same way that a tampon is inserted. Inside of it, however, is a barbed-wire style device that will latch on to a male who tries to penetrate the woman wearing it.
- The barbed wire device is designed so that it can only be removed by the help of a doctor. This means that men who have attempted to rape a woman are more likely to be caught since they’ll have to seek medical assistance.
- The device helps to prevent STDs and HIV contracted from rape.
- The initial shock of the situation could give women a chance to get away from their attackers. This may buy them the time they need to escape even if the attacker isn’t caught.
There are some concerns and controversy over using Rape-aXe:
- Some women might not want to have to wear this female condom on a regular basis but wouldn’t be protected when not wearing it.
- Men who become aware of this product may not be deterred from attacking women. They may just avoid vaginal penetration but continue to abuse women in other ways.
So would smart chicks use this product? The answer is both yes and no. The anti-rape female condom has a place in certain countries where rape is a serious problem and women are already taking drastic actions to avoid it. In particular, this product is useful in African countries where HIV from rape is a serious problem and some women are resorting to extreme measures like trying to insert razors into themselves to prevent rape. This product may not be ideal for first world countries but is an option in other places. In fact, these anti-rape female condoms are being handed out in South Africa during the World Cup.
