I think by suggesting things that may help or aid in keeping one safe from rape or even muggings is in no way placing partial blame on the victims of said crime. In This Mind I think you are misinterpreting the intent of the advice being given. In the case of rape the entire blame in my opinion is on the rapist and not the one being raped, and saying that if the women followed this advice it would be demonstrable by a reduction in rapes is utterly ridiculous. As someone else stated it would not, a rapist would just find another victim who is easier prey to him/her and poses a lesser threat.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
