It's not so much that it's "silly", it's that it's putting the responsibility on the potential victims, instead of potential perpetrators. This is not a problem exclusive to female victims, either (though this study focuses on them). It sounds like something out of a joke, or a comic, but maybe we need to integrate a "How to effectively establish boundaries and maintain them against confrontational people, and how best to respect the boundaries of others" into Frosh weeks, and make them mandatory. Universities are going to have to do more, unfortunately - It's just another passing of the buck of the public high school system onto the university system.The idea that teaching women how to prevent being raped is "victim blaming" is silly.
