Rape Button: The 50/50 savior

The Rape button that was made to supposedly save girls that were scared of the risk of rape due to a button that they could wear as jewelry would most likely not help a thing.  If you think about it most of the time someone is going to do something as ridiculously risky as rape someone they are most likely hyper vigilant they would probably notice the movement of someone going to touch their jewelry and take it as a sign and probably just harm them even more if they were not just going to rape them in the first place now they me be found hurt or beaten.  Also if you think about it even if they do not notice the woman push the rape button on whatever piece of jewelry they are wearing the likelihood that the woman is not already raped before the police are even able to respond is highly unlikely.  Yes it would be nice if this product existed if it could 100% prevent rape without over stressing the police force more than they already are but if you want to be honest it would probably not decrease rapes much and this is hardly a unique product this has already effectively been made before such as the app available on the iphone and android that will do basically the same thing as this button and everyone has a phone and is very easily accessible.  As far as this group goes their presentation was only about 15 minutes long which was much less than the requirements stated and their products also looked quite odd, called by our very own Dr. Johnson looking like a condom, which it definitely did look like after you noticed it.  If anything the large amount of questions that people asked since rape is a very controversial topic in this world since it seems these days most women do not feel safe going out in public and that women should not have to feel this way when they go out in public by themselves but to be fair it is the reality.  Therefore there were quite a few questions because it is such a value-laden problem in America and around the world and if anything saved this presentation its because no one stopped asking questions about the product and how it works and how it would truly help society better than any other product like it.
