BuckCherries comments on I believe teaching people to avoid situations that have a higher possibility of rape is not victim blaming. CMV: *

Are women less likely to be victims of crime because they are "treated" as victims and constantly told they are in danger and given (somewhat patronising) instructions on how to stay safe?
*

And if so, isn't is better to push this advise onto men who are more likely to be in a situation where they need to use this advice?
*

Why, despite crime statistics showing over and over again that women are far less likely to be victims of crime, are women the ones who are more likely to be given advice on how to act, dress and socialise in order to not become victims?
