CMV: In violent rape prevention, it makes sense for women to take more precautionary measures

Every time I see new developments for women's protection such as rape alarms, apps, advice on walking together etc. Someone inevitably comes along and says the responsibility should not be placed on the women, it's not their fault. However, I don't really see how this is relevant. The people that are committing these crimes are awful people. When we want to protect our house from burglary we don't put the emphasis on educating about stealing, we buy locks and alarms. Which is perfectly reasonable. These men that commit these violent acts don't care about women and 'education' whatever that means, I don't see as an effective solution. 

But I'd like my view changed. What sort of rape protection methods could be used that shift the responsibility onto men?

One of the issues with these "rape prevention" strategies isn't really the assignation of blame, but their lack of utility in prevention of rape.

The majority of rape is not stranger rape-- it isn't being grabbed in the street by a faceless creep. It's by someone you know. Walking in a group is a good strategy for not getting mugged, it's not a good strategy for preventing someone who knows you from assaulting you (it doesn't keep an acquaintance who knows your address away, it doesn't keep your parents away, it doesn't keep teachers or employers away, it doesn't keep the friend of a friend who's got a weird thing for you from cornering you at a party).

People can buy all the alarms and apps they want, at most it might make online dating and hookup apps a  tiny bit safer.

Also, a note: men can be raped, women can be rapists.
