Anti-Rape Underwear?

So about a week ago one of my Facebook friends shared a link to an article (http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/11/05/2889411/anti-rape-underwear-sexual-assault/) and went on quite a long tirade about how offensive she found it. I was curious so I clicked on the link and read what is in my opinion a rather outrageous sentiment. The article is about a company called AR Wear which has created a line of 'anti-rape underwear.' The writer of the article points out that although this company had good intentions, their campaign has possibly caused more harm than good. The writer addresses 5 points of concern and they are as follows: 1) Rape is not an accident- the tagline for the product is "for when things go wrong" which implies that rape is an accident of some sort. 2) The product is aimed at random acts of violence rather than assaults by someone you know. According to RAINN, nearly 75% of sexual assault is committed by someone the victim knows. 3) The company fails to make a stand against issues of race, but instead the company stays true to "mainstream society's conventional standards about what is considered to be beautiful and desirable." In other words, it is quite clear that the product is aimed at "slim, pretty white woman." 4) The product is quite misleading in the sense that it perpetuates the idea that rape can be prevented to some degree. Not only that, but the product also perpetuates rape culture by making it seem like it's the woman's responsibility to take precaution against rape (as if they're asking for it). And finally, 5) This problem doesn't offer any sort of solution to rape. I agree with this point strongly, as the writer states that we should focus on eliminating rape culture as a whole rather than make silly products such as this one that offers no real solution but rather perpetuates the very sentiment itself.
