I came across this article that was so appalling. Obviously rape is becoming such a crucial crime that has led women with no choice but to invent bizarre ways to protect themselves. This proves that they have the urgency in putting teeth in the fight against rape and they're desperate for help. Jokes aside, this might really be an effective product yet.
It's called 'condoms with teeth'
By: Lifestyle Associated Content
The female condom with internal ribs akin to jagged teeth that capture a man's penis was designed by Sonnet Ehlers, a South African physician, to counter rape. South Africa has one of the highest rates of rape in the world. According to South Africa's Medical Research Council in a 2009 report, 28% of men that were surveyed admitted to committing rape with a woman or girl, and one in 20 claimed they had committed rape in the past 12 months.
South Africa has been racked by an upsurge in rapes that went hand in hand with the rise in the AIDS epidemic. Many ignorant and superstitious men, on finding out that they were HIV-Positive or had Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, would resort to raping a girl or young woman they assumed was a virgin. Raping a virgin, in the local folkways, was held to be a cure for AIDS.
Sonnet Ehlers, got the idea to develop the device 40 years ago when she was a medical researcher at a hospital. A rape victim said she had wished she had had teeth in her vagina.
Called the "Rape-aXe," the Condom With Teeth is made out of latex. The prophylactic is inserted like a tampon by a woman who fears rape. If a man takes a woman by inserting his penis in her vagina which is equipped with the Condom with Teeth, his penis will be hooked by the stiff internal ribs, which Ehlers says are like jagged teeth. It is akin to getting one's penis caught in a zipper, only worse.
Only a physician can remove the device. Ehlers believes this will bring a rapist to justice in a country where rape goes under-reported.
Ehlers developed the Rape-aXe with input from engineers, gynecologists and psychologists. The design supposedly is safe for women to wear during an act of sexual intercourse. Ultimately, it will not mutilate the man, but will mightily discourage him. It will not wind up circumcising the rapist as it does not break the skin, but if the man tries to get it off, it will get stuck even more to his penis.

Would rapists actually think twice before committing the ungodly crime? I sure hope so.
