honestly i would just worry that a frustrated rapist would just beat the hell out of the woman until she showed them how to take it off. might be effective in unconscious situations though

nerds dont care about rape or think it isn't a real issue so while this project actually has its heart in the right place, it's wallowing at 5k funding

its heart is definitely not in the right place

it encourages women to think about sexual violence every loving day, as a totally normal event that requires affirmative defense.

this poo poo is loving disgusting. it's just an extra-sexist variant of kickstarters for clothes/wallets with special tacticlol gun holsters.

women getting raped is a totally real issue that they actually have to deal with and worry about every single day. women cant go out jogging after daylight hours because it's loving dangerous.

needing a tactical weapon to defend yourself from the government/blacks/whoever is an imaginary issue for racists and crazy people.

yeah that's definitely an intuitive concern but studies have shown it's not actually the case. i mean sometimes sure but you're better off being able to frustrate your attacker.

women can and do go out jogging after daylight hours. so far as i know they generally don't wear rape-resistant underwear or carry firearms to do it, either

notably i don't live in a 3rd world shithole

quote:

Acquaintance rape is much more prevalent than stranger rape. In a study published by the Department of Justice, 82% of the victims were raped by someone they knew (acquaintance/friend, intimate, relative) and 18% were raped by a stranger.

From a report on Violence Against Women based on data from the National Crime Victimization Survey, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1995

In the Rape in America study, 80% of the girls and women who were raped were victimized by someone they knew.

Rape in America: A Report to the Nation, National Victim Center, 1992

this kickstarter is trying to solve the wrong problem and it's honestly p loving horrifying that someone would come out with it. there are places in the world where stranger rape is a very big issue but they're not the us and I'm pretty sure women in the sudan aren't going to be buying rape-resistant pants before they go clubbing

because it's not marketed to internet males? and a chastity belt is specifically made to make a man the gatekeeper to a woman's vagina, this is not at all designed to do that?

like i only watched the video but it seemed to say fairly explicitly that women choose put this on themselves and take it off themselves.

kind of dumbfounded that you loving spergs actually think this is marketed to males and is a chastity belt to be inflicted upon women. you can push against the brick wall of trying to teach men not to rape all you want--someday i do hope we make progress on that front, but as long as it's still happening, explain to me why exactly it's a problem for a woman to be aware that she may be entering into a risky situation and to take precautions? jesus loving christ you people. if she wants to carry mace, or a whistle, or wear these magic underpants to make herself feel safe and confident then why shouldn't she? because somehow her awareness that it can happen and does happen every day is somehow HER perpetuating rape culture??? are you loving retarded?

the tortured engineers trapped in their windowless basement "office" were clearly envious of my freedom and their sad eyes told me all i needed to know

plan was for the entire interface to be a loving webpage. they also couldn't pay the salaries they were advertising and tried to make it up in equity.
