Some of these might sound innocuous or seem like they're just giving friendly advice.

Well, sorry to burst your bubble these examples all perpetuate rape culture.

If you're just going to tell women they need to protect themselves and not discuss how rapes can be prevented
You are participating in rape culture.

How can you stop perpetuating rape culture?

@UN_Women put together a list of ways you can push back against rape culture https://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2019/11/compilation-ways-you-can-stand-against-rape-culture
16 ways you can stand against rape culture

Every day we have the opportunity to examine our behaviours and beliefs for biases that permit rape culture to continue. From the attitudes we have about gender identities to the policies we support...

https://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2019/11/compilation-ways-you-can-stand-against-rape-culture
Now, nobody is saying don't do things for your own personal safety, but as I mentioned earlier, defense against rape isn't preventing rape.

We can all take actions to prevent rape that in the end, don't blame the victims of rape for being raped
And just using rape is an example because rape culture (if you read any of the links) is more than just rape.

It's sexual harassment, gendered violence, prison rape jokes...

So if you want to prevent rape culture read through that UN list
