A group of college students have invented nail polish that can indicate date rape drugs such as Rohypnol, GHB, and Xanax.
Read this article below. There are of course, as always, concerns about the product, which I
happen to think are stupid.

One of the critics basically says that we should
be talking to the boys about why it's wrong. NOOOO WAY! Really? We
didn't know that. Here's the thing, genius, men still sometimes rape when they know that
it's wrong. Women who EMPOWER themselves know that and empowering
by definition means that they take control themselves wherever humanly possible. Even still, women know the risk of rape is always there, this is why violence against women is so disgusting. Obviously, preventing rape needs to be a combination of teaching boys how to be men and teaching girls how to be women who know how to take every measure they possibly can against a predator. I
think it's irresponsible for a woman to complain so much about a useful
tool. We should be teaching every girl that she has to take every
precaution out there because you just never know....
And as for victim guilt? The rapist is always wrong. Period.
