I agree with this. The problem comes with supposedly enlightened talking heads (mostly feminists) telling women that men are the problem and we need to address men with training programs and (of course) putting classes in public schools about how men should treat women. That's just plain stupid in my book since 99% of men don't fall into the predator category. The huge majority of men are not looking to rape or kill anyone, but those that are, are not going to be helped or hindered by training programs or classes.
We need to be able to differentiate between not making ourselves prey and taking blame for the actions of the predator. No one should blame the victim if they are preyed upon, but all young women need to understand how to protect themselves from becoming a victim if at all possible.
