If she doesn't follow such advice then she's being foolish and playing with fire. If I leave my front door open and it gets ransacked, obviously I didn't deserve it to happen, but I'm being naive to think you can trust everyone to be a law abiding citizen. I never said it's not necessary to educate men but it's an insult to all men to assume we don't know rape is wrong or need to be educated. It's a bit like saying men need educated to know stealing is wrong. The majority of men do not rape anyone and are disgusted by it. Let's not forget that.
And no, of course it's not okay to take advantage of her.

"Rapes don't get reported for a number of reasons. One the victim fears they won't be believed and perhaps shunned by their own family, another could be the victim feels ashamed. So many reasons."

Because this tends to be worldwide, amongst various cultures. So I don't see how it can be a cultural problem. If it's amongst various cultures it's a worldwide phenomena

When I am talking about the media I am talking about all the ads and entertainment that puts women in compromising or weak positions. That stereotypes them. That has them physically exposed while men party (I.e. Alcohol ads). This isn't accidental in any way. No ad person could dispute this. Heck you can even see it happening in madmen 60s style). Who's the best at it? Peggy.

I'm sorry, but I don't get the whole idea that some model in a bikini in an alcohol ad is the reason why men go out and commit rape. It's like blaming GTA 5 for gang related crime. It's barking up the wrong tree.
