Being expected to take responsibility for your own safety isn't victim blaming

People should be expected to take reasonable precautions. Asking someone to never get drunk, never wear skimpy clothes, or never leave the house at night is NOT a reasonable precaution.

Nobody's saying anything about never doing any of those activities. We're saying that it's good advice to take certain measures when doing these activities, excluding wearing skimpy clothing, in order to put yourself at less risk. Certain measures may be avoiding going to unsafe places when it's dark unless it's absolutely necessary, not drinking to excess unless you have someone in a good state of mind willing to look out for you and make sure you're safe.
Wearing skimpy clothing is different. I've said before I didn't think it was fair to tell people to change what they wear in order to 'make them less of a target' because that would be unfair and unreasonable.
I have a problem with how rape is deemed different to other crimes, and because of that, people refuse to take reasonable precaution to help reduce their risk of being hurt on the basis that 'it's the rapist's fault'. Of course it's the rapist's fault, but when someone is burgled or becomes a victim of vandalism, people acknowledge that it's the perpetrator's fault but are still perfectly happy to lock their doors and put their cars in garages if possible without becoming defensive. I've seen people argue that if only society teaches men that rape is wrong (I realise not all rapists are men, but this is the context in which this argument is usually used) then rape would just stop.
When you want crime to stop happening or reduce, action needs to be taken from both sides of the situation. If people would rather act from the principle that because it's someone else's fault they shouldn't do anything to protect themselves, then fine.

Everyone agrees reasonable precautions should be taken, we just disagree on what is and is not "reasonable".

Its also important to understand how the majority of rapes happen. The majority of rapes do not happen to girls in skimpy clothes who have walked home by themselves and caught the attention of a stranger. The majority of rapes are perpetrated by someone the victim knows.

When we're looking at factors someone can actually control, I think they're reasonable. You can't do anything about knowing the wrong people, but you can make damn sure you're not in a risky situation which they might take advantage of.

Like what, being alone and unable to bench press 200lb?

So the point you're trying to make is, because people can't control whether or not they're alone or able to overpower their attacker they shouldn't bother avoiding getting into those situations at all? How ridiculous is that? Obviously I realise avoiding these situations isn't always possible, but this fact isn't enough to stop people bothering to do so anyway.

Sadly it's become 'offensive' to have common sense nowadays.

Obviously it's not your fault, but if you decide to get drunk and walk down a dark, shady alley in a dodgy part of town then you can't expect not to be attacked/raped. You can't pretend it won't happen to you; to assume otherwise is naive.

It's different if you had no other choice, if you were already being chased by someone for example. But if there is a slightly longer way home which is less likely to be dangerous then you're better taking it. If saying that is part of 'rape culture' then I fear for the future of the human race.

It is the same as driving a car not wearing a seatbelt, and then dying in a car crash. You are aware that the risk is there, but not taking the necessary precautions that people have repeatedly told you, so how is it not partly your fault if you die in the crash

Shady alleys and dodgy areas are only shady and dodgy because people are told not to walk around there by ignorant morons.

Oh sorry, I wasn't aware we had He-Man in our midst. Please tell us how you are so solid? How many people have you smashed?

In 90% of rapes, there was literally nothing the woman could have done to stop it.

The number of sexual assaults has risen recently, yet women are more safety-conscious than ever. What does that tell you?

I still disagree. Doing something to protect yourself is better than doing nothing at all.

All of them, obviously.

You don't have to be he-man to walk around a perfectly decent area of a city. Just don't be a judgemental coward.

It should be common sense. There's a growing attitude that we somehow shouldn't take precautions concerning our own selves and potential dangers that may result from negligent or unintelligent behaviour. While the fault obviously lies with the wrongdoer, it is naive (and dangerous) to suggest it inappropriate to warn people of their behavior and the risks it may incur. I'm not going to walk through a bad neighbourhood late at night flashing all my valuables - I know the risks. And, if I was a young woman, I wouldn't get black out drunk, make passes at strangers, and follow them into dark places. While not wrong in itself, this sort of behavior is ultimately tempting fate, and a smart person would know to be more aware.

So do you have bars on all your windows at home?
