But pointing out basic safety precautions e.g. staying in groups, not going off with relative strangers, not walking home alone or through secluded areas etc. is often lumped in as "victim blaming". I'm not saying that's happening here, but it does happen? A common reply being "people shouldn't have to do those things because people shouldn't rape!"... Which sort of goes without saying. Obviously rape and other assaults should never happen... But they do happen... And therefore, taking as many precautions as is feasible is important.
