Anti-Rape Device
Quote:
RAPEX is a new product that was developed to empower women to defend themselves against rapists. RAPEX is a device used by women to prevent rape and to identify the rapist.

Basically it's device that a woman wears, that attaches itself, using small hooks, to the penis of the rapist, causing pain to him, and requiring a hospital visit to remove, meaning he should be easy to identify.
Future news: The number of rapist turned into murders triples after the launch of this device.
As detestable as rape is, this is probably not the best way to stop it. I can only imagine that a rapist finding that something has just latched onto him is going to be pretty angry, and wanting to take that rage out on someone nearby. The FAQ for it says it should temporarily disable him, but if he has an mobility at all, she's going to be in trouble.
And of course men aren't always the bad guy. What's to stop a woman seducing a man while wearing one of these, then claiming rape? This would give her more "proof" of the rape.
Thoughts?
