Taking steps to prevent something doesn't mean we're acknowledging women are responsible for rape. Women are NOT. Some genius please tell me how to prevent rape and sexual assault. I mean really. Besides all the things you can do that prevents mugging. What additional things can you do to prevent rape? There's nothing. You think wearing layers of clothes will prevent rape? No it won't. I watched a little bit of that video and then realized it's 20 mins and I don't even agree with the first 2 mins so I stopped. In Malaysia, when I was a schoolgirl, the newspaper published that the government thinks that schoolgirl uniforms are the cause of the increased rape statistics. Reason? It's too white. (This is too many years ago so I won't bother looking for the article) Call me biased all you like, some men will always think that women are responsible for the feelings of attraction they caused in men. To these type of men, the woman is the tease, he's never mistaken about her intentions, not even when she says no.
Edit: took out my own personal experience because I just wanted to make the point that rape and sexual assault often happens in places where women don't expect to be treated that way, and by people they trust to be "safe". I believe the following link makes that point quite well.

so I came across this a while back, and realized that rape happens more often than we think, and not always in the stereotypical "at the wrong place at the wrong time" scenario.
