Since they really have made anti-rape devices which are basically a series of sharp spikes the woman wears inside her privates, it seems to me more likely that the attacker will end up suing the woman for injury.
Unlike your conventional anti-rape device, this one is worn inside the mouth. Activated
by pressing a button with one's tongue, it plays a short recorded message through a speaker designed to project the sound as if it were created by the owner's voice box.
When confronted in a dark alleyway, our heroine can now turn around and say, in a very deep voice, "I'm a man." This should freak the attacker out enough to discourage him.
Failing that, it can also play "I am your father" or any other creative message you can think of, synthesised with the bundled software and downloadable via USB.

Not a good way to defend yourself in a rape case, but suggests that "I'm a man" may have undesirable effects on the would-be rapist [notexactly, Oct 01 2019]

sorry, I'm all for violence towards rapists. |
|

I'm with [po]. Bust 'em up. Besides, being a man isn't necessarily a deterrent. |

(-) With po on this one. I also find this immoral on a weird level - as if by changing gender as a trick to defend oneself, one would somehow confirm that yes, girls are ready-made victims, and if one doesn't want to be a victim, one shouldn't be a girl. |

Isn't rape nature's base urge to reproduce, a fundamental drive. Nature can't really afford to damage the female it's trying to reproduce with. The male not so much. This drive, as [normzone] pointed out, is strong. |
|
| |
Humanity is now sentient of our base urges so in theory there can be laws and social etiquette to control the natural rape drive, if individuals do truly have control. |
|
| |
It is a societal and personal question why the remaining individuals don't have control of their own urges. Strange that when it comes to base urges, pain (in most cases) is a natural reminder of things not to do, which society/law doesn't allow to be used. |
|
| |
I am of course, missing out those sentient defective individuals that know it's wrong and have control but rape anyway and that's why there are prisons. |

Being hungry doesn't excuse ripping somebody's arm off and eating it. |

I don't think [wjt] is positing it as an excuse. |

Rapists can be deterred by application of an
intercranial dose of the element Pb. 100% success
rate in preventing future attacks as well. |

True, the human race doesn't want to get to the stage where everyone is too metabolically fiddled to give a fig. |
