Now this is all common sense. I'm not suggesting it's the woman's fault, but if you put yourself in potentially dangerous situations it could end badly.

You, yourself said that the advice was no different.
Personally, I have gotten advice on what to wear and what not to wear and how I should present myself SPECIFICALLY to "avoid" rape and the consequent insinuation that, in the event that I might be, I would somehow be to blame.
Yes, the advice IS different and it shouldn't have to be. It makes me feel guilty before any crime has been committed.....
