[edit] Summary
Simple stylized (quasi-abstract) drawing of a form of the Kali's teeth bracelet male chastity device (hinged version), shown both closed (locked) and open. For certain individuals, this device is (or was) a symbol of an overall female-supremacist ideology...
Most of the photographs on the Internet seem to be of the unhinged version, but the final perfected form of the device as sold by its original creators (the Femina Society) had a hinge. The lack of a hinge makes an already somewhat difficult to handle device even more unwieldy.
For more mainstream symbols of woman-power, see Image:Labrys-symbol.svg and Image:Woman-power_emblem.svg . For an image which could be construed to have similar meaning to this one, see Image:Nopenis.svg...
