Ah, FFM, I misread the post to which I replied. When I read "why are we not incensed" I read it as meaning we should be incensed. My mistake.
However I am also not incensed by the apparent intentions of the drinky rapey poster either for much the same reason.
People do need to take responsibility for their own safety. Advice to help them do so may be construed as victim blaming in some circumstances but hey, if it prevents one rape or cyclist in a coma then it's worth it.
Sometimes you can't solve a problem only from the guilty / responsible party side, you have to get people to stay out of harms way too.
