If it can be put in without harming the woman, presumably it can be taken out just as easily. Why wouldn't a rapist just fish it out before assaulting her?

It might work in cases of domestic abuse, but then it also might be seen as a vindictive act (getting him back for something other than forced sex).

Regardless, I hope we can survive our adolescence.

Wouldn't this just make the rapist angry, especially if he found out too late? Angry rapist could equal dead girl...

EDIT: After reading the article, I see that others think so too:

Critics say the female condom is not a long-term solution and makes women vulnerable to more violence from men trapped by the device.
