Default Anti-rape device - condem with teeth

Should be condom not condem. Sorry misspelled my header.

South African female doctor invented an anti-rape condom with teeth and is handing them out to women during the World Cup.

More amazing is that the men perpetrators can't remove it without a doctor, can't pee or walk with it on and yet, it doesn't puncture the skin. Amazing!

I read about those anti-rape devices some time ago, then it disappeared from the news. Very cool that they are getting publicity again. Ha - the same inane remarks from the critics.

Mmm. I wonder what gender controls what gets into the news and what doesn't?

Critics have accused her of developing a medieval device to fight rape.

Well, nothing else seems to be working!
What a shame the teeth don't inflict more serious damage.

I give the womon 10 out of 10 for trying to do something to stop the world wide epidemic of Rape and sexual assaults on womon.....given that the authorities do very little to combat the risks womon endure at the hands of men every day who can blame womon for trying to protect themselves....

Rape is a terrible crime against womon and a total violation of our rights to safety and security, womon are never the same again once these rights have been breeched....
