The reason, historically, that that was a problem at all is because putting the responsibility on women always entailed restricting what women were allowed to do, which obviously doesn't work to stop rape because it disempowers women. This particular program is fundamentally different in that it seeks to empower women relative to men. It's no wonder that it has been a success.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.
