For years we’ve warned women about how they should dress and act and be careful to avoid getting raped – it’s the whole ‘blame the victim’ ideology (and yes, I realize men, too, get raped as do trans people)...this hasn’t worked all that much…this article suggests another way…

which I think is a good idea
do you think we should be doing a combination of the two above or something entirely different to prevent rape? should we focus on gender norms, sexism, the media, social institutions, race politics, power dynamics, etc?

That is everything from the original question, it is not about all crimes, only about exclusively RAPE! Everyone knows rape is a crime, just like everyone knows that being a drug dealer is a crime, doesn’t mean people don’t do it, you should post your own question about all crimes and how to prevent them but not here on the question asking about how to prevent rape. There are many crimes, dealing drugs, jaywalking, statuatory rape, rape, murder, petty larsony, child molestation, public urination (indecent exposure), I can go on forever here, we are talking exclusively about preventing rape!!
