This is a device that will PROTECT women and will be their choice to wear. The only person it will affect is the individual that chooses to rape.

Actually, they were mainly used by fathers to protect what they saw as "property". There's a reason why they're called "chastity" belts--they were meant to insure that the father's property--the daughter--remained chaste until marriage. A damaged daughter would not claim as high a bride-price as one left inviolate and pure.
