There was a case in Toronto over a decade ago that spawned the "slutwalk" "protests," wherein women marched topless in retaliation for a cop advising them to avoid dark alleys while wearing promiscuous clothing if they didn't want to get raped. I'm pretty sure that event also popularized the term "victim-blaming."
Anyway, that cop was and is right. If you want to minimize harm to yourself, avoid areas where harm is more or most likely to take place. That goes for anyone and any potential crime. Do you walk around in the Baltimore projects juggling diamond rings? Fuck no. Same principle applies to everything... yes, even dat booty, slutwalkers.
That's just it, Is it justified? No, of course not, however thinking that does not then mean I agree with catering to the whims of every stupid moron who treats the world like it's their personal playground. I remember awhile back there was some girl who got attacked at 3:00am walking around in a really bad neighbourhood and even without the issue of clothing etc. makes you wonder what the fuck she was thinking.
90% of crime is purely impulse(because the average criminal is of such low IQ they are incapable of planning.) Little things can mean the difference between being a victim and completely passed over.

Exactly, telling someone to avoid danger is not excusing dangerous persons' behaviour. They're not mutually exclusive.
I worked for a soup kitchen, I donated to BLM, nothing bad is gonna happened to me.
