Have you heard about AR Wear? It’s anti-rape clothing.
The designers write on their website: “We developed this product so that women and girls could have more power to control the outcome of a sexual assault. We wanted to offer some peace of mind in situations that cause feelings of apprehension, such as going out on a blind date, taking an evening run, ‘clubbing’, traveling in unfamiliar countries, and any other activity that might make one anxious about the possibility of an assault.”

Talia Hagerty went on Fox 5 in NYC, saying, “The challenge is to find a way to prevent people from committing rape, not to give women another reason to feel it’s our responsibility if we’re raped.
I spoke to a writer for the Washington Post, “This product places the focus on women as being the responsible party for stopping their own rape. That is highly problematic.”
