There shouldn't be an emphasis on the women to defend themselves, the focus needs to be on dismantling the rape culture that makes sexual assault accepted in our society. That's the most stupid thing i've ever heard on teamliquid. First of all, such a culture doesn't exist. Is murder considered a cultural thing nowadays, because these things seem to happen, though never being trendy or pop culture. When you excuse crimes, committed by individual persons, by culture, you're someone i don't want to meet at night, when the lights in the streets are gone. | ||

Nobody wants to meet me alone at night, when the lights in the streets are gone, let alone a rapist. Rapists wear special underwear because they are afraid of ME. If there is a rape culture, then it needs to say hello to MY culture - kicking-ass culture. Rapists, welcome to Painville, population: YOU, MOTHERFUCKER. | ||

As with pepper spray... it probably doesn't hurt carrying it, but it's arguably a lousy excuse of a weapon because it only works on faces and is rendered useless by a gust of wind. What I was getting at is that it's very easy to simply forget common sense when it comes to things like this. Don't meet a stranger from the interwebs at a place where there aren't lots of people. Don't go jogging through a forest in the middle of the night. Don't leave your drinks unattended when going out. Basics like this. Barring edge cases because of a psychological reasoning if you're about to do something where "Oh I better wear my anti-rape underwear so that I'm safe if something bad happens" comes to mind then it was probably not a good idea to do it to begin with. The same holds true for things like pepper spray (or knives =P). If there is just the slightest chance that such an item might make you less cautious it was an awful idea to bring it along. Not to mention that it's highly likely that if someone really wants to do physical harm to you he most likely has a better idea of how to use said weapon than you do. | ||

Not sure if you are just joking or not, but I'm pretty sure these kind of plans doesn't pan out they way one thinks when shit hits the fan. Just the like females doing some self defense contact sport think they are untouchable. When someone much larger than you pops out the bush taking stranglehold on you from behind, or tackles you down on the ground, hitting you in the face, maybe flashing a knife you will most likely freeze out fear and shock. | ||

Let's take an analogy. In a perfect world, there would be no car accidents, and we should continue working to try and keep the rate down as much as possible. But as we all know, it can happen to anyone at any time, hence we wear seatbelts to reduce the damage in the case that something does happen. I don't see how this product is much different. I agree with the guy above though that it could lead to some awkward scenarios if you really need to pee. | ||

I think it can just provide a feeling of security, but technically, it changes nothing. "if someone wants to break into your house, he will..." Insurance company quote... | ||

However, the other type of rapist who attacks women who are jogging or whatever is pursuing a different impulse. It's more about violence for him than sex, and therefore any kind of resistance, even a passive one like stiff underwear, will give him cause to act out in other harmful ways. It's entirely possible that the girl will be maimed or killed in place of rape, since the rapist simply needs some immediate way to pacify his urges. | ||

Of course if you are in certain parts of Europe you are criminalized for your right to self defense. | ||

When are you gonna have the time to successfully draw a weapon without getting your fucking face slashed to pieces while laying down on the ground with a bigger, stronger violent person on top of you? | ||
