I agree with the criticisms. It could easily be abused, may only escalate the situation, etc. etc.
However, she is right in that "anything can be misused" and wrong in regard to "rapists lose control of their senses".
Not all rapists lose control of their senses when raping; not all rapists rape vaginally.
Overall it seems like an ineffective tool that could be easily manipulated.

It could also be used by an angry girlfriend to get back at her boyfriend. It has many possibilities to be used wrongly, and it seems a bit cruel to me.

I think it's a shame that it's so hard to defend against rape without getting frowned upon yourself, If it believes that rapists lose track of their senses, then what about the victim? Pretty scary thing someone trying to rape you I would imagine.
I also think that it is sad that it is so hard for a man to report a rape, with few people taking him seriously.
In fact what irratates me more than anything I think, is women who cry rape when they weren't because they felt ashamed they had had sex with that particular guy. They make it harder for actual victims to get the care they deserve sad
At uni it happens sometimes that an underage girl will forge id, etc to get into the university or campus bars, with the aim of pulling uni guys because they can buy alcohol. Thinking she is a student too they may well buy her a couple of drinks, and if she then decides to go home with them and cry rape in the morning the guy gets blamed. It really bugs me because I have a lot of really lovely guy friends at uni who are so worried about the increasing numbers of underage girls in our bars that they have taken to asking for ID to anyone who chats them up. Sounds silly but it's safer smile
Don't get me wrong I know not all girls do this, I'm just saying the ones who do really make life a lot harder for everyone and contribute to the "she was asking for it" mentality. Yes, more often than not the girls I'm talking about do ask for sex, but they weren't raped so it isn't really the same thing at all.
Sorry for getting all ranty it just really gets to you when you see it so often. confused

I hate critics, "Others describe the device as "barbaric"" I describe rape as barbaric. Fight fire with fire. I understand how a woman could use this device in cruelty to say, a cheating boyfriend or something, but if this prevents against rape then by all means let them have it! LemurOverlord I'd rather buy one of These. Yeah that would probably be a better tool than crazy vaginal teeth since it can't be abused. The only thing is is that we know there are still chances that women will be raped, and I have this weird feeling that people will still be assholes and say things like, "Well she should have worn a rape-x or anti-rape belt." xp I hate people... Oh and a bit off topic but, your avatar is amazing Anardana. Love everything you did with it, beautiful! surprised

I really don't know...
Part of me feels terrible that things like this are even necessary.
Part of me is fearful of what rapists will do to the victim after discovering this device.
Part of me worries about how this can be abused.
And finally, as a victim of rape, part of me wishes that I had had one of these when I was a teen.

The reverse chastity belt sounds much more effective.

because what happens when the rapist realises he can't get the thing undone?
He's going to blame you and then hurt or kill you in frustration for not being able to get it off. surprised

Part of me worries about how this can be abused. And finally, as a victim of rape, part of me wishes that I had had one of these when I was a teen. What she said. In places where rape is so prevalent, I can really see the appeal of these things. Is it barbaric? Yes. Isn't rape? Would I like any man who tries to rape me or another women to get vaginal teeth sunk into his p***s? The answer, vengeful as it might sound, is yes. Hell-frickkin yes. But again, as people said, this is something that could be abused, whether by women who want to hurt their boyfriends/significant others, etc. Though I can't see women putting these things on for the sole reason of luring men into trouble (what does it do for the woman?), I can see people hurting others with it. But I can also really see this deterring a lot of men who try to rape women vaginally.

I think that some or most rapists just rape for a sense of controlling others....
I agree that it can be abused. I like the reverse-chastity belt idea better because I'm squeamish of tampons.
I can see the warning label. "Warning; Not to be used doing sexual intercourse."

Quote: The only thing is is that we know there are still chances that women will be raped, and I have this weird feeling that people will still be assholes and say things like, "Well she should have worn a rape-x or anti-rape belt." That's just one of several MAJOR problems with this idea. It puts the blame back on the victim. The only way for this to be effective would be if women wore the device 24-7, wihich is not possible. And you really think she's going to be able to put it in when she's in danger? You think some rapists won't know how to remove it? It sounds good because it offers women the sort of defense we've always wanted: A v****a that can inflict pain on the rapist. Remember, in order for this device to work, you will have to actually be raped (penetrated against your will). And what about being molested, assaulted, or anally raped? And how does one test a device such as this to be sure it'll work?

Strange idea, but I'm sure it's effective.
What if you forgot you had it in then had concetual sex with your boyfriend? OUCH!
