33. It's not bad advice, I agree.

But the implication is that the female is responsible for her own rape depending upon where she decides to go. I happen to have gone to the same University as the young women that asked the question. There is nothing else to do but go to parties or bars where there is a lot of alcohol unless you stay locked up in your room reading or knitting.

Is that what young women should do? Just remove themselves from society so as to avoid being raped? Sounds pretty fucked up to me.
