There are a lot of weird inventions out there.
Some can even be given as gifts.
For example: What do you buy for a woman who's afraid to walk to her car at night in a creepy underground parking garage?
The
RapeX!
Yes, it's a device that a woman wears
inside herself to prevent that pesky rapist from having his way with her.
Apparently, it's filled with tiny barbs that hook into a rapist's penis. Once they hook into him, the only way it can be removed is if he goes to the hospital. When he withdraws from the woman, the RapeX comes out, too...still attached to him.
Then he must seek medical attention immediately. This also helps to identify the rapist.
It looks like it's made of plastic, but it's actually made of thick latex. The barbs inside it are razor sharp plastic.
All joking aside, I think this is a good invention for women. Women have a lot more to fear than us guys, especially sexual assault.
On the FAQ of the RapeX official website, critics claim the device is midieval. The inventor countered by saying that rape itself is midieval. A midieval punishment for a midieval deed.
