This is too good.

Spoiler
Four male college students at the North Carolina State University are developing a new kind of nail polish that changes colour in the presence of date-rape drugs, like GHB and Rohypnol.

The goal of their company, Undercover Colors, is "to invent technologies that empower women to protect themselves," specifically against sexual assault, they said on their Facebook Page.

"With our nail polish, any woman will be empowered to discreetly ensure her safety by simply stirring her drink with her finger," they said. "If her nail polish changes colour, she'll know that something is wrong."

Undercover Colors initially garnered praise, with hundreds of thousands of likes and shares across Facebook and Twitter.

"There are already bulky devices that can be used to test drinks for date rape drugs," writes Adam Clark Estes for Gizmodo .

"But it's not necessarily easy to carry these things around on a night out and whip them out at bars."

However, the inevitable internet backlash came from a surprising source - anti-rape advocates.
Tweet: Rape prevention nail polish sounds like a great idea but I'm not sure how you're going to get men to wear it. (@andreagrimes)

"I'm appreciative that young men like want to curb sexual assault, but anything that puts the onus on women to 'discreetly' keep from being raped misses the point," writes Jessica Valenti for the Guardian.

"We should be trying to stop rape, not just individually avoid it."

Valenti argues that promoting products like Undercover Colors is not only ineffective, but also can lead to "victim-blaming," if women don't take all the suggested precautions.
Tweet: How about women don't have to wear a special nail polish and dunk thier fingers in every cocktail not to get raped (@lindywest)

"Women are already expected to work hard to prevent themselves from becoming the victims of sexual assault," writes Tara Culp-Ressler for Think Progress.

"Now, remembering to put on anti-rape nail polish and discreetly slip a finger into each drink might be added to that ever-growing checklist-something that actually reinforces a pervasive rape culture in our society."

Additionally, date-rape drugs are not necessarily a factor in the majority of sexual assaults as much as alcohol.
Tweet: This new nail polish that can detect the date rape drug is great if you think women aren't trying hard enough not to get raped. (@kellyoxford)

Writing for Jezebel, Erin Gloria Ryan says that improving education around sexual assault could prove more beneficial than colour-changing manicures.

"Teach men that having sex with women too incapacitated to consent is rape," she writes.

I've embedded the whole article and the pics/tweets in the spoiler so you don't have to go to the site.

The tl;dr is that 4 students invent a nail polish that changes colour in the presence of date rape drugs, the idea being that women can discreetly check their drink for anything untoward. Then the Tumblr harpies start on about how rather than this being a good idea it's better to teach men not to rape.

I mean, it's not like every human on the planet has to be taught that rape is bad is it? That just generally goes without saying. Same with Murder or Arson, telling everyone again and again that it's bad isn't going to stop it from happening ._.

Should women be able to live without fear of ever getting raped? Of course. But we don't live in a world where everything that should happen, happens. We live in a world where there's evil people out there, and we need to protect ourselves from them. It's not victim blaming to say that there are steps women can take to avoid getting raped.

Every one's a critic.

I'm curious, if it was a girl who invented the nail polish would they be singing a different song?

I personally think while it's not perfect, it's a pretty good idea.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Jesus.


It seems anything that isn't an instant fix-it job just isn't good enough. I'm sorry they can't seem to realise that the problem of rape, while being reduced, will never truly go away just like other crimes haven't. No I'm not frickin' advocating it, but realistically reducing ANY crime to 0 is impossible without living in a totally controlled environment, ala 1984.


I'm glad those students have made it easier to check with far less hassle than what was available previously, but if these prominent figures of feminism gain support behind their "cause" and make people believe this is useless, then frankly the benefits of this detection tool will be for nothing. Good job girls.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
The only way to completely stop rape is to kill men. Basically what Secondclass said, women have the right to live without fear of being raped but to fully stop is hard, at least  this provides women with protect in a form that isn't a hassle nor it is a pain in the ass since a lot of women already use nail polish.

Can you stop being fucking retards and generalizing people because there are two idiots that run their mouth on Twitter? You're definitely better than this Mr P. Honestly, do you even know what social justice is? Because it doesn't mean 'random bitch on the internet who hates men.' Just because you're on a forum with a sour culture when it comes to issues like these doesn't mean you have to stoop to a low to get on their good side. Fact of the matter is that the majority of feminists and SJWs are glad that this happening so it's truly just not necessary to warp those people into radical idiots just because of a small few who are probably trolls anyway.

I don't class Tumblrite SJWs as Feminists.
When I refer to SJWs, I mean retards like those in the OP. It's not a matter of stooping to the opinions of others, they genuinely irritate me.

If there is another type of SJW that isn't a rabid feminazi, then please do share. The rest fall under feminists as far as I'm concerned, if they don't just outright hate men.

But Le Dusty, SJW is the term FOR that minority of idiots.

It's rare, but it definitely happens.

It's not as rare as you think, men just don't report being raped.

They also have the problem of the law trying it's best to disqualify men from being victims of the crime:
1) guy and gal have sex drunk, guy is automatically a rapist
2) under many systems forced to penetrate is not counted as a crime more serious then groping (including UK law)
3) Police have sometimes refused to mobilise despite overwhelming evidence corroborating the claimants story.

We should totally get rid of Lollipop men and women.

Children have the right to cross the road blithely without fear of getting run over. Anyone that disagrees is a disgusting victim blaming pig.
