It is fine to teach women to be careful and take steps to prevent getting raped. In fact many groups, including women's groups, support this.
the problem arises when women are told that they have to sacrifice their rights to keep from being raped.
it is okay to teach women not to get sloppy drunk when out by themselves. but it is not alright to tell women they have to stay home or dress a certain way.
So maybe instead of just tossing "speaking points" at each other we should discuss details of how far women should be required to go to avoid rape. Should they not be allowed to go out at night like men can? Should they be required to wear burkas in public?
Also should we teach rich people that they should not be allowed to drive nice cars because that makes them responsible for getting carjacked?
