They give this idiotic advice because they think if they keep on following it, they can never be raped.

A woman who gets pee on herself drunk might be an object of scorn just like a man in that condition is, but neither is participating in anything that happens to them beyond that--not assault, not robbery and not rape. The fault is 100% with the criminal.
