I would agree but you cant shoot someone for thinking they might rape you and in a struggle the woman is usually overpowered. Chances are the gun would never come into play. The pic in your post reminds me of a friend who bought a hand gun because her purse was snatched off her shoulder and stolen. Where did she keep her gun to stop someone from stealing her purse? In her purse.

Women in those kind of positions are not acting on their own. She is being the soft sales pitch for an extremely blindly patriarchal idea of ownership of women whereby, as many of the more unequal societies would rather murder a rape victim than be dishonored.
Again, this would be more rape victims dying. I've been in that situation in the fear, and though it was diffused last moment rescue, have to say right now, that is not something anyone who values life and liberty should ever wear, and it should be illegal to have a minor wear it.
If this becomes widespread, it will end up being abused by women to get revenge on innocent men, similarly to what's happening with the ridiculous laws that we have here.

Then try this:
What’s always most important is being aware of your surrounding and not putting yourself in vulnerable situations. I bet if every woman who was ever raped was proficient in the use of a firearm, had one readily available, and was more aware of the potential danger of her surroundings, the number of actual rapes that have occurred would be drastically fewer.

if a women fights back,she has a chance of getting beating to death. this product i think will give women the the upper hand. the penis is one of the most sensitive parts of the body and any man that has one of these on his junk will be in pain. what it comes down to are the individuals. will the individual with this attached to his junk have the mind power to forget the pain and then act in revenge. and will the individual women have a clear enough mind to use the mans temporary weakness to either flee or incapacitate. if u look at it in general, i believe most women will be too worked up over the potential rape to have a clear line of thought, so lets hope there adrenaline will serve them well, and in general men we be so distraught over this thing on there junk they will immediately try and get it off giving the women a chance to flee, fight or call for help.

Again I agree for the most part but not all women are comfortable with using a fire arm and no matter how vigilant a person is they cant be prepared for everything. All I am saying is this might be an alternative for those who don't feel comfortable with the current choices available.

Honestly I think this sends the WAY wrong idea.
You have to realize that the rapist sometimes could avoid that line of thinking from childhood but at some point something happens to them to change their brain chemistry.
We need to teach children from youth that rape is wrong, not enable women to feel some stupid penis trap device will save them...
