Much easier to tell women to go shopping than to teach men not to rape, right?
This anti-rape vending machine dress.
In 2009, fashion designer Aya Tsukioka created an "anti-rape/mugging dress" that turns the wearer into a faux vending machine. That should do it!

These hairy leg tights.
These tights were designed to deter "perverts," but warns a blogger, "This will not only prevent against perverts, it’ll definitely also result in preventing handsome guys from approaching you. When things go to the extreme, they can only go the opposite direction!!!" NOBODY WANTS THAT, DO THEY? (These may also actually be a joke, too).

This "Guardian Angel" anti-rape necklace (or bracelet!).
Per the website, the Guardian Angel "creates a distraction" for women in "an uncomfortable situation." Simply press the button, and a fake call is sent to your cell phone, allowing you to ... pretend you have a phone call. Holding down the button sends a text with the wearer's GPS coordinates to a friend.
The designers told Fast Company: “Some young women may not feel confident enough to tell a guy — especially one they know or think they may like, or is part of an extended social group — who’s starting to get drunk and too touchy to shove off." Just be more confident!
The necklace (plus shipping and delivery) sells for $130.

These "consent panties."
Earlier this year, Canadian student Amulya Sanagavarapu launched a Kickstarter to fund a project called "Consent Pants," or a variety of women's panty styles with ostensibly anti-rape messages. British style site The Debrief described the product thusly: "Sick of having to say ‘no’ with your tiny woman’s mouth every time a bloke pushes his luck? Don't worry, these handy consent pants can do it for you!"
