They should make a special version for the girls and women who have to go near Biden, which gives hims a good, painful zap, every time his hands go where they shouldn't!

Women are the subject of unwanted sexual advances and physical contact all the time. Despite this, they often have a hard time being believed. In 2018 Swiss beverage company Schweppes teamed up with Brazilian advertising agency Ogilvy to create dresses that records groping. This is their “Dress for Respect” project. (1) Dress For Respect: Dresses that Records Groping
After hearing numerous complaints from women that even men they trust don’t believe them when they experience sexual harassment, Schweppes and Olgivy created dresses that record groping using built-in sensors. (2)
Three women were then sent on a night out wearing the dresses. The dresses and a camera crew captured just how many times the women experienced unwanted physical advances. (2)
At the beginning of the video, the camera crews asked a few men outside of the club how big of an issue they thought sexual harassment is for women. These men all denied the issue. (2)
The dresses quickly proved them wrong. In less than four hours, men touched the women non-consentually 157 times. (2)
The Sensors
There are sensors in the dresses that are connected to computers via a wifi connection. These sensors work to detect when where and how the woman is touched.
In another room, the team watched on a computer which shows up as a heat map. The most-touched areas of the body were the backside, arms, and lower back.
When you do the math, this project shows the women being touched without consent once or more times every five minutes. (1)
While this isn’t peer-reviewed research, the results are not encouraging.
Proving a Point: Women Deserve Respect
This dress is just meant to prove a point and will not be made available commercially. The goal is to show how much sexual harassment women have to deal with in their daily lives.
The reality is, women should not need a dress that records unwanted advances; men should just respect women. If a man wishes to approach a woman at a nightclub, bar, cafe, grocery store, anywhere – they should approach with respectful conversation. Touching without permission in any way is harassment. Period.
Tell ya what DIW.... Some really ignorant comments scattered around. I don’t know those guys think they’re cute and manly or just trolling.
Any way... A couple or three years ago, my son and his wife were doing the New Years night thing in a trendy area of Atlanta. They were walking down the sidewalk, passed three guys going the other way and one of them did the grope thing. A few seconds later the guy was laying on the sidewalk curled up and the two buddies were about to wet their pants believing they were next. They would have been next if they’d run their mouth off.
Lena Dunham is upset: “I ordered an entire wardrobe of those special dresses. None of them worked. Nobody touched me at all. I want my money back!”//
Oh yes. I’m a woman and I know that if you touch a man’s arm, briefly, the man takes notice.
As for the small of the back, like with folks who gesticulate the action being linked to their language centers, that is for some a way of showing subconscious care in their navigation like a bug using its antennae to not run into things.
Is it any wonder that people are treated as objects in such a society?
Sale women use this tactic too,I’m told
Touching another person is a power play. Obama did it all the time as a way to show dominance over the other person. MIchelle did too. Remember when she slapped Queen Elizabeth on her back! The look on the queen’s face was priceless.
Now do Tara Reade.
I’d like to know what the parameters were. Touching someone on the arm while passing in tight quarters? Backing into her tush with yours? Shaking hands?
No context, no real data. Just another smear of all heterosexual men. Again.
Quelle surprise.
What about the wanted physical advances?
Can the dress tell the difference?
Fixed it.
Now that is quite interesting. Women apparently have a lot of power that they may not even understand.
Which is why teenaged girls need to stop with the short shorts that say “juicy” on their butts.
Thank God my daughter never did that. She’s a good girl. Um, young woman (21). :)
I love that one article by Dave Barry where he describes meeting his daughter’s first date. He says something like, “I’ll be cleaning my rifle,” get up and shake his hand and say, “Make sure she’s home by eleven.”
The young man looks at the rifle and says, “Yes sir!”
My husband is very protective of our daughter, but she never went on a date in high school.
Today, kids get together in groups and then split up to “hook up.” Meaningless. So very sad.
That is very interesting! :) Thanks!

They perceive the world differently. Who’d “a thunk it” ? LOL
And I’ll bet every single one who designed or participated in this “study” would have voted for Joe Biden if they were US citizens.
This heer oughta give a fella paws!
LOL
Hey this is a PG board.
Sometimes PG13.
Maybe an occasional R :)
I thought that was already happening.
A dress is not complete without the proper shoes! ;)
While I agree with your conclusion that modest dress is protective, it's also true that women in these cloistered societies would not be as vulnerable as women in general society because they would be protected (or avenged) by their male family members away from the eyes of the law.
Those of us in mainstream society who have to make a living also have to put up with frequent harassment. If our fathers, brothers or husbands tried to "address" the situation, they would run the risk of being arrested.
