No one ever said "it's your own fault".It's used, especially by religious types, to fault/blame women all the time, even if you yourself don't do it. And as for the risk, no one has shown any increased risk yet. We already know for sure some opposing facts, such as the rarity of dragged off the street style rapes, and the fact that no stats have appeared showing any rapes increased with specific clothing styles.
And yes, if you do take the advice you have layed out, your risk of robbery will be lesser than the man in an armani suit driving a high end mercedes.
Until I see some solid indicators (correlation at least), I can't seriously consider this religion-spawned concept as based on any reality. There is too much evidence against it, and none for it.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
