Of course they do! All I'm saying is it annoys me when people ridicule inventions like this because they're actively trying to find a solution. I'm sure they'll find one for men in the future as well.
This is a great idea, but it's sad we need this. It's more important to teach men not to rape than to teach women how not to be raped. Because what you're saying is basically "make sure he rapes the other girl". There's always gonna be someone else less sober, walking in a sketchier part of town, and she deserves to be just as safe as me.
It's sad that we need this, but it's unavoidable. No matter how hard we try, there's going to be people attempting to rape someone. We tell everyone not to murder each other, but it still happens. Not saying we should stop telling people to not rape people, but just telling people won't help everyone. Products like these help prevent situations that could happen.
sadtruth did you or someone you know get raped by a woman? Because you seem pretty fixated even though no one here has said that men do not get raped. And as has already been pointed out the polish is clear so men could wear it as well and not look weird. The reason female rape is so focused on is because the chances of a woman being raped or at least attempted rape is 1 in 5, the number may actually be higher though because it is estimated that only 1 in 7 rapes/attempted rapes are formerly reported by the victims. Could be more could be less, researchers can only speculate based on surveys and such when it comes to non reported incidents. While men are indeed at risk for rape the statistic is more like 1 in 71 (I am speaking only of female on male not male on male) and I don't know what the non reported stat is for them, though I am sure more go unreported than not. Nobody here is saying they don't know/care about male rape, it just isn't as prevalent.
This is great and all, but we really need to work on the actual problem here, which is the fact that men rape. We need to stop accepting the rape culture for what it is just becuse "boys will be boys :)))" or some bullshit like that. The male gender needs to stop treating women like objects, learn that a NO means NO, and basically we need to get rid of the patriarchal values and opinion of todays society (and every society ever too, for that matter)! It's time ignorant people learn what feminism really is and support it, in stead of bashing it online because they have no idea what it is or what good it is doing everywhere you let it!
The thing is that no matter what you do there wil be always people that rape. This invention is just a way to keep the stakes of being raped lower and so women can be safe(and guys). Because you see, the human race always has those trouble makers that will do things that are not necessarily the best thing to do. For example Drug addicts know that what they are doing is bad, and they know thy are going to get into a lot of trouble, but do they stop? No they don't. If people find rape, drugs, bullying, smoking, etc. they are not going to stop unless you find something that takes their oppurtunities or fun away from it, and this nail polish is honestly what we got right now to fight against it. (Excuse my grammar if it's bad, I'm not very good at writing in English.)
How the fuck is there controversy over this fucking god damn post. Jesus everyone knows you shouldn't rape. Stop taking every opportunity to say how much you hate it. It's getting boring. This is a great invention cop on.
Yeah cause it's so fucking easy to tell when that has happened, dickhead. The whole reason they are making something like this is because guys slip the drugs into girls drinks when they're not looking.
Yeah, better to get a cold than be raped.
And you can always wash ur hands.
Seriously, I don't understand why people don't treat others like humans.
Our whole planet is just a land of war, and cruelty.
Hopefully in the future it will be better, as there are people like this trying
To make it a better place.
Oh my god . You just said women need to get over date rape because rape was way worse in the past ?!? Are you serious ? Is this real life ? I am so distraught. It IS A FREAKING ATROCITY ! So you are saying that women need to calm down about RAPE, because they have it so much better now. That's like saying to a black person in the 60's " calm down at least your not a slave ." When did this website get so sexist ?
This comment by philosophic. They were saying date rape isn't the world biggest atrocity and women need to realize they are better of now than in the past. Guess they deleted it.

Macaroons I want to seriously apologize for that. I have been at work all day and I came home for lunch to find my brother grounded in our room. I left my phone in my room on the charger. I had no idea that he knew my unlock numbers. I deleted the comment and I apologize for myself and for my brothers actions.

Please read my comment above Macaroons and I'm sorry for his offensive behavior.
Replying to the first guest: it's not as easy as you would think. My university had a rootbeer "kegger" last year to educate freshmen about date rape. All the RA's were given "roofies" (tic tacs) to slip into the freshmen's rootbeer to show just how easy it is to do that. I was only there for about 20 minutes and I spent the whole time actively and attentively watching out for people trying to "drug" me, I even held my hand over the top of my cup when passing groups of RA's. I was pretty proud of myself for my anti-roofie skills, that is until I finished my rootbeer and found SIX tic tacs at the bottom.
