I have to point out that this comment comes across with some blinkered steroetyping of rape victims and rape situations.
The first PD I worked at had a rape defense program that taught this, which is where I got it.
Social avoidance involves a lot. Sometimes avoiding rape means not drinking at a party; sometimes it means not walking alone at night; sometimes it means leaving your husband and going to a shelter he doesn't know about.
If you can't avoid this, if you just don't see it coming, sometimes the only option you have to avoid rape is to beat the hell out of the guy until you have the opportunity to run for your life. Our cops volunteered to dress up in padded suits as practice dummies for the ladies for this part of the class, and the bruises were worn with pride.
I know this obviously doesn't work in all situations. Sometimes a woman has no community support to hide her away, and sometimes she has the safety of children to worry about. Sometimes she's a minor being assaulted by an older relative. I get that, and it may not surprise you that I'm involved in programs to address this right now. But, at least when I was with the police program as a young guy, 90% of rapes were against adult women by a man they knew during a social situation, and the chances of the attack dropped dramatically when the strategies taught by our program were employed.
