If women want to take the precaution of leaving any men that they live with, it's their choice.
If women want to walk with a group of friends instead of on their own, it's their choice.
Ridiculous or paranoid or not, any precaution, whatever the precaution, is still a precaution - and my point is that to mention the fact that precautions to exist is not to blame the victim. That reminds me of people who don't simply treat different ethnicities equally fairly but they also pretend that there are no differences as if mentioning the differences is being racist. No, that's ignoring reality. For example, "Black people are black" is not racist it's a matter of fact and true by definition.
Likewise, "some actions the woman takes might make it more probable to be raped than others" is completely different to "The woman should take X precaution". I was pointing out this difference to in this mind and she pretended to know what I was thinking by claiming that she knew what I "really mean". No, I really am not saying "the woman should take X precaution" I am merely stating that precautions exist.
