It's just a snip off the top, really
the device is designed to be used in the same way as a tampon… This is then inserted by the woman. When the rapist attacks the woman and penetration takes place, the point of his penis will touch the section containing the blade and it (the penis), or at least a part of it, is sliced off.”
I can’t decide if this is entirely justifiable. I imagine that it is, but perhaps a dibilitating electric shock is more in order than a severance. A woman quoted in the article says something to the effect of this device being another precaution the woman has to take, and that any man who rapes should go to prison, end of story. While this is true, I can certainly see the allure an item like this might have to a woman who finds herself in uncomfortable circumstances. Would there be a risk of worse beating, even death, if this were to happen to one man in a group, and the rest decide teach the woman a lesson? I’m not sure… Another thing: Is this item really all that realistic? A woman doesn’t leave the house (I’m expecting) with the possibilty of rape on her mind, let alone the foresight to insert this before going to a party. Maybe more women should think that way. Someone is going to take that sentence the wrong way… All I’m saying is that this device puts the power back in the hands (in a matter of speaking) to the woman. At the risk of sounding like a new-age sensitive man, that’s something I’m all for.
