Problem is, your body is not something you can hide from the world in a safe deposit box somewhere, you bring it with you, easily accessible, everywhere you go when you interact with people. We never say "teach people to avoid being sucker punched", because that's absurd. If someone decides to punch you out of nowhere, they will, there's nothing you can do about it, so we rely on people being taught that it's wrong to punch others for no reason. But somehow rape becomes the one form of unwarranted bodily assault that people are expected to magically be able to avoid more than any other type.

Defense. Defense, defense, defense. Everyone seems to be assuming that the prescribed course of action is to teach women how to magically enable the "do not rape" setting in their bodies. This is stupid. It is obviously stupid. It does not mean that teaching women how to be aware and protect themselves is a bad thing or a poor argument, however.

No, but it does keep getting framed as "how you, a women, should protect yourself against rape" (often with the implication that if you don't you only have yourself to blame) rather than "how everyone can protect themselves". Since, you know, men are also raped and people in general are more likely to get robbed/mugged/beaten up than raped.
