Rape-aXe, an anti-rape device created by Dr. Sonnet Ehlers, is a vaginal insertion much like a female condom, but has barbed spikes intended to penetrate the unwelcome penis during rape. Is such a device really necessary to prevent rape, or has the world gone mad? According to Victoria Kajja, who works for the Center for Disease Control and Prevent in Uganda, the device may cause more harm than good. Kajja believes the device "represent enslavement that no woman should be subjected to." While I would generally agree with Kajja's assertion, I also believe it would lessen the frequency of rape. Possibly at the cost of shaming women, but if the end result is to not be raped, it seems to me the device would do just that.
