If a woman can put it in surely a man can take it out. It would surely not be too much trouble for a man to check the woman is not wearing such a device before he rapes her. I am sure it could be removed in a few seconds.



Is the Rape-Axe available for purchase in the United States?



looks a good idea but how practical is it? the assumption should be that the rapist will not check if such a device is present.
this is going to cause curiosity in men and for sure might increase rape cases.



How many "men" TODAY check for Rape-aXe products before committing the vicious crime of rape? No one.

If Rape-aXe is distributed and effective for only half a year, do you know how many women that suddenly gets an increased chance of getting away ?

If this product helps and prevents even a small percentage of women from getting brutally raped then it is worth the cost, controversy and "discomfort" of the rapist.

Ask not about TOMORROW, think about what it could do for women TODAY.



I too would also like to know if Rape aXe is available for purchase in the United States.
