Anytime anyone suggests (in public, in media) that women should be more careful, or not trust strangers, etc, they get charged with "victim blaming".




Right, because the perpetrator of violence does deserve the blame for their actions. It's not the same as telling women to ignore the dangers, though. The same people who decry victim blaming also support rape whistles, self-defense classes, pepper spray, and safe-ride-home services. (Now, drinking less alcohol... that's not an appreciated message.)
