You certainly have a "right" to not be a victim of violent crime. Any person with a shred of intelligence understands that is not a "guarantee"...so taking steps to minimize your exposure to crime is common sense, not "victim blaming".

This insistence that women should be immune to violent crime regardless of their exposure to it is not just baffling, it's anti-intellectual...it requires a willful and deliberate aversion to logic.

It's hard to imagine columnist Lauren Evans telling her own teenge daughter "get as drunk as you want, pass out in strange places, walk alone through high crime neighborhoods...you have a right to do it". No, she's going to tell her own daughter EXACTLY what the column she claims to be horrified by said.

Welcome to 2016, where stating reasonable advice based on statistical facts is problematic.

Because surely no sane, politically engaged (columnist, woman, human) in 2016 thinks those things anymore, right? Right? ...Right?

Ah, the famous "it's the current year" excuse. A very strong concluding argument indeed. It's like, if we rewound time back a few hundred years, it would become perfectly fine to buy slaves, hate blacks, and kill gays. Because it's 1820. /s

It's weird when people say that "people should be able to live their lives" as an excuse for getting black-out drunk. Do you know what happens when someone gets black-out drunk? Somebody has to help them get home, or even help them stay alive. What about the person who has to carry the drunk home. Should he/she be able to live his/her life instead of having to carry some liability home?

Why do irresponsible people get to live their lives however they want, but the responsible people cannot live their own lives because they have to pick up the slack and protect the people of questionable intelligence?

I've never heard one well-known feminist discourage underage drinking. Shocker.

How about this? What if a man is perfectly controlled when he's sober, but flies into a rage and beats random feminists up when he's drunk? Should he control his alcohol? Surely feminists won't object him to drink because everyone should be able to "live their lives", right?

And all these women who complain about their man getting drunk, they should take a chill pill because we're all about fun, and complaining against drinking is just anti-fun right?

You know what I think? I think that feminists just want women to have no responsibility at all. No matter what the woman does, she cannot be blamed for anything. That means that the only other people left to blame are men, or other women who even suggest that women have the capacity to take responsibility.

It's always made to sound as though men prey on drunk girls. Like these girls are passed out and men attack. In reality, we all know, women turn into gigantic whores when they drink, and then regret their actions later. This isn't rape.

I don't understand. I have a human right to shout Allah stinks from a Tehran rooftop but wouldn't, to stay alive. Why would anyone think mutually exclusive both caution by potential victims and punishment of violent perpetrators? Why not do both?

Your title sums it up well. The woman achieved a level of intellectual honesty and clarity that the tools at Jezebel never will.

She can Feel free to walk through the jungle in Calais wearing a bikini. Sure you have the right to not have a problem, but chances are bad things are going to happen to you.
