I am amazed he hasn't been fired for those comments!!  Sure if he was talking about teenage pregnancy or SSDs then his comments are technically correct but they are not applicable in situations of rape where any choice has been removed by the rapist!!

It would have been sound advice but he spoiled it with the last bit of the sentence.

If he'd been talking about muggers and then said keep your valuables in your handbag/wallet he'd have been congratulated for his public information advice. 

Rightly or wrongly women/girls/daughters do have to be advised on these things and to be careful, just like I advise my sons to be aware of situations that could be misinterpreted as such. We can't pretend that rapists don't exist and that there aren't sexual predators out there so its best to err on the side of caution. IMO.
