Rape is the violation of one human being by another. Or perhaps more accurately the violation of a human being by a subhuman low-life who most people wouldn`t piss on if they were on fire. It`s a fact that most rapes are carried out by men on women, women raping men does happen, but the obvious practical difficulties are so immense it`s virtually unheard of.
Being a crime against women it`s often difficult to see how women in certain situations can guard against the possibility of rape. There are measures a woman can take to sensibly reduce the risk but sexual predators are notoriously cunning.
There may be an answer for women in South Africa. It`s an extreme answer, but then rape is an extreme and abominable crime.
According to The First Post the words of a rape victim have inspired a new device:
“If only I had teeth down there”
The device (pictured) is worn internally by the woman. When the scumbag penetrates her the upward-facing teeth latch on to his penis and stay there. The device can only be removed by a doctor. Explaining that, and running down the street with blood running from your crotch could be interesting.
Not everyone`s happy though. Surprisingly Charlene Smith, one of SA`s “leading anti-rape campaigners describes the device as “Vengeful, horrible, and disgusting”. Personally I don`t see that as a criticism. The crime itself is horrible and disgusting and why shouldn`t the woman feel vengeful?
The other criticism is that the rapist, now somewhat aggrieved at the device biting into his penis, might become more violent. Well, that is a possibility but firstly he`s already being violent with the victim and secondly as a man I can testify that if I had multiple sharp teeth incising my cock I`d be trying to get the thing off, not worrying too much about anything else.
In all seriousness while the device does seem to offer women empowerment it has to be the dysfunctional elements of society that change their behaviour, not the victims. And with 1.7 million women being raped in SA every year that change can`t come soon enough.
