N.C. State students develop nail polish to detect date rape drugs
Washington Times ^ | 8-25-14 | Jessica Chasmer

Four male students at North Carolina State University have developed a prototype for a new nail polish line that changes color when it comes into contact with date rape drugs.

Ankesh Madan, Tasso Von Windheim, Tyler Confrey-Maloney, and Stephan Gray founded Undercover Colors, coined as “the first fashion company working to prevent sexual assault,” The Mary Sue reported.

A woman paints her nails with the polish, and when her nails come into contact with a liquid, the color will change if drugs like Rohypnol, Xanax, or GHB are present.

“In the U.S., 18% of women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime,” the company says on its Facebook page. “That’s almost one out of every five women in our country. We may not know who they are, but these women are not faceless. They are our daughters, they are our girlfriends, and they are our friends.”

Maha Rushie points out that feminazis oppose this nail polish. No wonder Maha Rushie says they’re crazy.

It is sad there is enough of a market for this to make it commercially viable.

That said, this is pretty ingenious.

Because outrage over things like date rape is a revenue stream for them.

Reduce date rape and they need to find something comparable (donation-wise) to be outraged over.

Just like race-baiters it gives a tool to defuse a part of their agenda.

Fewer date rapes —> fewer pregnancies —> fewer abortions.

If your drink is drugged, you don’t need to get drunk in order to be disabled. One complete drink is usually enough.

The drugs can be put into iced tea or soda. Dumb thing to say.

That’s clever! A very useful product. Hopefully it won’t cost 10Xs as much as regular nail polish.

They can check their fingernail polish just before they pass out.

Because it gives women a false sense of security, it puts the responsibility on them and not the vile rapist male, and it isn’t free.

I’m serious, those are their criticisms. The fembots want to place all responsibility on men as this allows their manipulation of the issue. Women who are drugged and raped are not their concern. They are concerned more about redifining rape to include women who regret their actions. Women are all wise, all knowing, and allowed to define their world as they see fit and that includes changing the rules any time it benefits them. What was once a regretful action is now seen as a crime and gives victimhood status.

leftwing femeinism stems from guilt and shame. Rather than admit that, they need a perpetrator, some other force to blame and take the responsibility they can not. Some of the biggest feminists I know are penis worshippers and are fully supported financially from men. They hate themselves for it and they hate other women, prettier women, women who threaten their status, more.

My fiance, a real feminist, has a lefty friend who goes on a retarded rant once a week. Jt almost deserves a weekly thread and my fiancee replies are usually epic. Her friend is a rape liar, a drunk, uses men, and is on a new level of insecurity. She is one of those women who surrounds herself with predators and men of questionable ethics and plays the victim. When she drinks, she transforms into a beast who will have sex with almost anyone. Her sober self is totally disconnected from her drunk self to the point of near split personality. I’ve told stories before her pulling her tits out in my car to show my married brother in law. She is a mess and while I feel sorry for her, I avoid her like the plague.

Exactly. It is the fault of the woman having a drink that some complete ahole doses her, and then has his way with her while she is incapacitated.

First off. I believe it would be prudent for girl to dip her finger in the the drink before imbibing.

Second, you're an idiot for saying that.

I’m hoping they make a nail polish that turns color when it comes in contact with a liberal. I’m thinking it goes on and dries clear, but then turns red if contact is made.

So a woman who goes into a doubtful situation with an untrustworthy guy is going to look at her fingernails?

This was done for extra credit, because it’s the politically correct thing to do.
