It's not quite the same thing, though. An equivalent would be an ad campaign saying that "1 in 3 cyclists are killed or seriously injured by riding on the road"
Surely the equivalent would be "1 in 1 doorings occur when the cyclists is cycling too close to a parked car"
That's analogous to the NHS campaign because the unspoken other options are "don't go out and have a few drinks in public", "stay at home where it's safe".
Does that make sense? It's not the same as offering specific advice on how to stay safe in a particular situation.
I thought the message was "go out if you like, but don't get pissed".
Victim blaming, is genuinely shit, for example, dragging up someone's sexual history when they're bringing a rape case in court is about the most scummy thing a human can do. I'm just unclear why, taking a holistic view on the whole thing, we can't have a primary focus of preventing rape by going after the perpetrators while concurrently saying to potential victims "There are some proper arseholes out there. Let's (within reason) make it as hard as possible for them to be so."
