Guides to female behavior promoted by law enforcement agencies, college campuses, and e-mail forwards that ostensibly prevent women from becoming victims of violent crimes but in fact put the burden on women to prevent rape and domestic violence at the hands of shadow-lurking strangers—don’t walk alone at night, let a friend know where you are, lock your doors, don’t get drunk, never park next to a van, keep a can of mace at the ready and a pair of keys lodged between your fingers—instead of targeting the friends, acquaintances, family members, classmates, and neighbors most likely to assault and rape women.
