Why do feminists have such a bad reputation?

I guess that what women wear has little bearing on the probability of a woman getting raped (at least in the western world). Geographical & hour of day do. Its perfectly reasonable to advise a woman not to walk alone less reputable, isolated places at night. Even if she is completely clothed.

Less bearing than walking alone through a dark back alley... but attractiveness has bearing on getting some people interested in the first place. More bearing in better lit places, where one can see whether or not a person is attractive. Think of it this way: is a man walking alone through a dark back alley likely to be raped? Beaten down, mugged, shot: sure; but raped? Hardly. Attractiveness (sexually) is a necessary part of the process.

Also has a connection with family/family friend rape. I mean, based on statistics alone: trust nobody, and put your faith more in strangers than in the people you know The state of the person who can be incited to rape has a much more significant impact upon it than anything else, probably.
