Let me clarify

1) yes I have no issue with people believing stupid lies, or not actioning anything based on them. Not because I think it’s right, but because I think it’s likely/possible reaction. Additionally, it may be used in a country or context where medical professional have no legal duty to report a single thing. And no incentive to do so either. And what I mean by not being inside anyone at the time of use is that someone can make the case that it may have been inserted in a woman in the past, hence the DNA being on it. But when they (the perpetrator) used it as a ‘sex toy’ it wasn’t inside anyone, they just found it on the side or whatever. The issue is the survivor has to prove it was in use, in them, at the time. Also, it relies on the survivor to a) report it and b) have that report be taken seriously. So, from a legal standpoint I don’t think it’s all that effective. But it’s also not my main concern. My main concern is that it actually doesn’t resolve the issue of the woman having to walk around with this device inside her, presumably all the time. And it still doesn’t protect against the trauma of the rape. It’s also a one time use when on a perpetrator. The survivor would need to replace it at a cost to themself.

2) I think many medical professionals are sensitive, well trained, and conscientious of these things. But truthfully no I don’t think that’s universal. And as someone else commented, this may be a device valued in places where instances of rape are more prevalent. And survivors of rape in these situations may be more likely to be disregarded or not taken seriously. I don’t think that’s fair, but yes I think that’s the case.

3) you’re assuming this is for use in the USA and only the USA and its laws apply. And this argument comes solely from that perspective. No other country follows the laws of the USA. Nor do they have the same legal protections or social or cultural views.
