An anti rape female condom using a different design was invented by a woman called Sonnet Ehlers, a south African.
Ehlers
was motivated to create it while working as a blood technician with the South
African Blood Transfusion Service, during which time she met many rape
victims.
Ehler
mentioned that she was inspired to create RAPEX (later renamed to rape-aXe) when
a patient who had been defiled stated, “If only I had teeth down there,”
suggesting the myth of the v**ina dentata. Initially called RapeX, the name was
changed in 2006 upon discovering that RAPEX is also an EU warning system against
dangerous goods on the market.
The
rape-aXe is a latex sheath embedded with shafts of sharp, inward-facing barbs
that would be worn by a woman in her v**ina like a female condom. If an attacker
were to attempt vaginal rape, his man-hood would enter the latex sheath and be
snagged by the barbs, causing the attacker excruciating pain during withdrawal
and giving the victim time to escape. The condom would remain attached to the
attacker’s body when he withdrew and could only be removed surgically, which
would alert hospital staff and police.
Like
most condoms, rape-aXe also usually prevents pregnancy and the transmission of
HIV and sexually transmitted Infections. rape-aXe was unveiled on August 31,
2005 in South Africa. Although media coverage at the time implied that mass
production was due to begin in April 2007, the device has never been marketed to
the public and it remains unclear whether the product will ever be available for
purchase.
Critics
have accused her of developing a medieval device to fight rape. “Yes, my device
may be a medieval, but it’s for a medieval deed that has been around for
decades,” she said. “I believe something’s got to be done … and this will make
some men rethink before they assault a woman.”
So our brothers who are still engaged in this babbaric habit, THINK TWICE
