As indicated on [Link Removed] , "...Femdefence is [a theoretical approach] to contribute to the debate on men's sexual violence against women in society...".
Without getting into the obvious purpose of the object, I will say that the information on [Link Removed] indicates that although it is designed to do damage, it would be completely safe for the woman wearing it.
Although this is not a “real” product at this time, it is an on-going project that was begun after several high-profile rape cases in Sweden were unsatisfactorily handled by that country’s judicial system.
Assuming you were guaranteed to suffer no injury by wearing it:
What are your thoughts on this sort of new line of defense against sex crimes?
Is it something you would wear? Or provide for your daughters?
Or do you think it is an unrealistic answer to an ongoing problem?
I’d have to say no. Although thinking of the consequences if the thing actually worked - Yikes. That would hurt.
Totally unrealistic!! I’m trying to comprehend-and don’t want to!
Not store candles, YOUR candles!
I know, huh, Lu. I’m scrunching up parts of me that I don’t even have!
Yeah... I don’t think I’d want to have something like that inside of me. Scary!
If this happens to you & you are not at gunpoint or outnumbered,
1.Stomp on attackers foot hard.
2.Knee the groin area.
3.Scratch his eyes
2 & 3 @ the same time.
Then RUN like you never ran before.
I’ve also heard you should carry your keys between your fingers, so when you jab him in the eyes you REALLY get him good.
Not store candles, YOUR candles!
I do that unconsciously with my keys also.
**Practice that on some pillows or something. If u ever get into a situ where u actually have to hit an attacker with ‘a key fist’ do not jab directly. Use a sweep type punch. Practice this once. You’ll see what I mean.
It’s a shame that we have to think like this, isn’t it?
It looks like it’s unanimous!
There is no way in hell that thing would ever enter my body. I’m stunned to know it was designed by a woman.
And I agree completely with empower... my first thought is any rapist paying attention is going to see the string and... well... it can only get worse from there.
Thanks for the discussion and honesty!
the only thing it would be good for is to wrap the string around the wrist, grip the ‘tampon’ lol and stab the crap outta him. the string would help so he cannot get it from you.
Aim for the eyes first, then the adam’s apple, then the knee. Hitting the groin not good if you miss, they will be more pissed!! Eyes first...poke fingers right into the them. ewwwwwwww but hey it could save you too!

WAIT! Okay, I am going to sound SOOOO stupid.....that was supposed to go IN your body!! OH HELL TO THE NO!
I thought you carried it or wore it around your neck or something. When the realization hit me, I almost choked on a piece of sausage! I ain’t putting nothing like that up my cooty cat!
Nope i would never use that. I hold my keys in between my fingers in a fist too. I have actually played out a plan in my mind over and over if i am ever attacked.
Pray to the Lord i never have to use that plan.

It is great to have a plan...it saved me once!

I just get this visual of you sitting the wrong way. You go east and that thing goes WEST! YOOOW!!! There are only so many items I want entering my nether regions. A modified ice pick ain’t one of them!! Carol, OUCH!!!
I thought it was something to go around the neck too. Oh hell no that thing is NOT going inside of me.
and I thought IUD’s looked scary!
Not store candles, YOUR candles!
It’s vile and the thought of actually putting in place is scary ...and then removing it ...
I too carry my keys and I also have a key ring with a piercing scream which offers some comfort.

"Temptation is often ringing the doorbell of life but opportunity knocks only once."
I guess things in the UK must be much worse than they are in the U.S. I can understand the concept and the fear. It works like a tampon, doesn’t hurt the woman, and your attacker doesn’t take his time violently raping you so he probably won’t see the string, besides if he’s serious,stupid and trifling he thinks you‘re on your cycle, so he gets what he deserves.
On the other hand be educated in self defense and all the other sister tips about escape and run like hell. When you go for his eyes you better be full of rage cause if you miss he will hurt you if not kill you.

“I can make it happen” It is whatever it is at the moment.
Nothing like going out THINKING you‘re going to be raped! Besides, if a man “enters” you, where do you think this thing is going to go? And what is it going to do once it gets there? Sounds like a painful situation for everyone.
If you‘re thinking there’s a chance that you’d be raped, don’t go to wherever it is that you‘re thinking about going!
While it is a good “concept“...it still needs work.
We must always be aware of our surroundings, because rape has no perfect timing, no regular space of occurence and sometimes there is no warning. As a crime of passion sometimes the attacker is known. So much we have to consider when we discuss things of such nature.

My cat was designed for only one other instrument to enter and if that is not entering, then HELL NO.
You know they have home/car alarm sticker that notifies ppl you have a security system, but you really don’t. How about just wearing a shirt or jacket stating your kitkat has a security weapon, maybe with a pic? Maybe that will work better
- I know I’d forget to take it out.

LOL!
I’m going to rely on all my martial arts and self-defense skills and skip the killer tampon. It looks like it has too much potential to injure the wearer. I’d be afraid of forgetting it and I don’t want to ever do anything that would harm my husband’s joystick in any way!
If you‘re being attacked, stomp on the assailant’s foot, knee him in the groin, kick out his knee, jab him in the eyes, knock him out. There are lots of effective things you can do to fight off an attacker.

In my whole life I never thought I would hear the phrase “Killer Tampon” too funny .
No way would I use that thing .
Remember the real killer tampon, Rely? They had to pull that off the market!

We took a class in high school called "Freedom and Law" that was taught by an actual policeman. Here are some of the anti rape defenses we learned.
Put your car keys between your fingers and make a fist. You can than use the keys to slash him. Also, as mentioned earlier on this post, stomp on his feet, and poke his eyes out.
I use to also carry a can of V8 juice with me when I walked to work just in case. That would hurt upside the head. I never had to use it :) so later I had a great snack.
Faye, I like your V8 juice idea. Nice and practical. I love finding ways to incorporate everyday objects into self-defense. A potential attacker would never consider a can of V8 juice as a weapon, so the surprise alone gives you a great edge!

I like it, too. Especially about the double-enjoyment of not having to use it, and then having a snack on-hand, lol.
