Innovative rape protection or scariest tampon ever?


I think maxi pads are in my future...at least until I can get this picture out of my head.

Femdefence is based on a design by Anita Ingmarsdotter, a Swedish woman who wanted to invent a "rape protection device" after a series of rapes in Sweden that received a lot of public attention.

While the Femdefence website claims that the killer tampon can't hurt the wearer, I don't know how enthusiastic I'd be about putting anything near my vagina that has a fucking metal spike.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I can’t imagine that this is an effective way to protect women against rape. It doesn't take into consideration that women are raped anally and orally and that sexual assault is about violence—this thing could just piss a perpetrator off. Or maybe I’m wrong; it is a pretty terrifying-looking device!

Thanks to Ray for the link.

You're totally right Jessica. But some little part of me likes to think that maybe the sick fucks who rape are shuddering a bit at the thought that they might cause their own demise the next time they try to force themselves on a woman.

O-M-F-G

That thing is just freaking evil looking. What's next a lil guillotine we insert in our vagina?

It's not a real product, but an artistic device that's purpose is to make people think about how to address male violence on women.

interestingly enough, a similar sort of device was introduced in neal stephenson's book snow crash. that one, however, injected the perpetrator with an extremely sedating drug... of course, the unfortunate part was that the woman wearing it forget to "disarm it" (yeah, yeah, it's science fiction :) ) before having consensual sex... i guess the real problem i see with it (not particularly faced in the science fiction world where i first saw it...) is it continues the idea that women who are raped are raped by strangers who overpower them. it just doesn't seem like this "protection" would be used by a woman going on a date or a woman willing to do some sexual things (manual penetration or whatnot) but not have vaginal intercourse.

I understand that it's a design project (my bf is a designer--he's the one who came across it), but I can't look at something like this and not think of it in a real-life way. It's pretty harsh. But then again, I always did say that my aesthetic sensibilities were crappy...

It does get across to men in a rather straightforward way what the fear of being penetrated against your will is like, and this concept--big sharp needle in dick--gets it across. Men need to understand this, because oh so many don't.

Is it wrong of me to think that device would be great! And some men deserve it??

Pondering this delightful object has caused me to imagine what it would be like if women were unrape-able. I have soliloquized on the topic in my patriarchy-blaming blog "I Blame The Patriarchy," but the short version is that the concept of womens' rapeability is at the epicenter of oppression, and that if it (rapeability) were to disappear, everything else would start coming up roses. With the end result that we'd only have to pay as much as men do for dry cleaning.

I've developed a callous from those, they don't work.

Also that chick in the femminist t-shirt is hot.
