Condom with 'teeth' unveiled
2005-11-28
DURBAN: A new type of condom with "sharp teeth" has been unveiled in South Africa that can help arrest rapists. The condom named Rapex "is made from latex and has several rows of sharp teeth that can only be removed from the male sex organ of a rapist by a doctor," Sonette Ehlers claimed while demonstrating the device.

Ehlers told South African national radio, SAFM, that the Rapex is a personal security device that women will use to protect them from rapists. She said women would have to insert and remove the Rapex with an applicator.

"The Rapex will help in the arrest of rapists." Ehlers said the Rapex has already gone on sale at several outlets in the country. Ehlers, 57, of Kimberley town in the Northern Cape province gave a demonstration of the condom at the start of two weeks of activism against violence against women and children. South Africa has one of the highest rape incidents in the world with more than 55,000 rapes reported annually.
Given the prevalence of AIDS there, this isn't a feminist thing - it's a survival tactic. Good for them.

#5  Ya just what the women need is some Aids infected guy bleeding all over a young girl. But then he will probably beat her to death for it anyway. They need to enforce a very painfull law to keep Rape from happening.
