Anti- Rape Female Condom

also known as:

- vaginal bear trap
- czipa trap

The anti rape female condom was invended by a woman from South Africa whose name is Sonette Ehlers.
The decvice looks like a woman's condom where the girl can insert it in her vagina; it's not supposed to hurt. The condom contains plastic barbs in it, so when the attacker inserts his penis the condom will get hooked to his penis and will cause him pain, making some time for the girl (or woman) to run away. The condom will not cause any harm to the guy (except pain) if he properly removes it, by a surgery. If the attacker decides to remove the condom by the surgical procedure to avoid any harm that could be caused if he tries to remove it himself, there's legal testimony of an attempted rape.


Sounds like a great idea doesn't it? That's what i thought...

but as I looked more into it, there's a few severe ethical issues that are preventing from the condom to be sold.
For instance, the usage of the device may put the female in a more dangerous position that she was in initially. The attacker can get mad and beat up the victim, or maybe even kill her.
Also the device is insufficiant and even more dangerous in a gang-rape situation.
Some simply claim that this device is barbaric, medieval and see it as the concept of going back to chastity belts.


It is unfortunate that in our socity (and most) women have to take very careful precautions when going to a pary, making guy- friends and even walking alone on the street, especially at nighttime. Why did we reach a point where women at a party have to hold their drinks at all times, where women can't walk alone on the street without constantly turning their heads right and left, or even trust their guy- friends, or coworkiers to give them a ride.
why is there sex division? Don't we all, guys and girls alike, want the same thing, safetly and trust? Why are we still divided into distinct groups of race, sex and class?

Will there ever be equality.....?
