Because good advice is now offensive.
Lets face some reality here: You can not prevent a murder, rape or whatever by telling people not to do it. They already know that and do it anyway.
You have no control whatsoever over the action of other people. None. Nada.
What you have control over is your own actions.Make of that what you will.
Also the overwhelming majority of murder victims in the entire world are men.
About 80% of victims are male: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide_statistics_by_genderWhat do we do about it? - Not giving a fuck. We do not think about it. We accept the risk. We always do. 90% of job fatalities are also men. Men do not give a fuck.
So women of the world: Learn to not give a fuck.
Then maybe you can close that pay gab.

Now that I actually recall where I saw this stuff last time, this has be a very direct critique of victim blaming and fearmongering, regardless of who is doing it. Last year there was a deadly incident in China, where a young woman named Li Mingzhu was raped and killed after using a popular ride-share application.
Professor Wang Dawei gave this exact advice we see in this chapter to women, so they can avoid getting assaulted or killed. Also, this insensitive prick even said that more attractive women have to do be even more careful about it:
"In a now-deleted Weibo post regarding the Didi case, Wang suggested women should not hail rides under three circumstances — when it’s late at night, when the destination is a remote or unfamiliar location, or when the passenger is a single woman without any companion."
Dawei is hardly the only one doing this, of course.

Why do you feel the need to tell everyone that men are more likely to be killed than women? Why do you feel the need to tell everyone to not give a fuck about potentially getting raped or murdered?
This post disgusts me so much and I feel like you are vastly missing the point of this strip. It is a reality for women to not EVER feel 100% safe when they are out late at night on their own, because of how disgusting the world is - and for the reaction to be "well she shouldn't have worn such and such outfit, she should have gone home with some friends" is outrageous and you are telling women not to give a fuck?
Also, men do not "accept the risk" that they might get raped if they go out for a fun night out with some friends and yknow decide to take an Uber home. So fuck off. I don't care what you have to say back to me, im just so angry that something had to be said.
Edit: admin please remove this comment if it's too much, but I'm just so disgusted with this guy

the basic premise is correct. we can't control when something bad might happen to us. nobody knows if they're going to die tomorrow to a drive by shooting. (though certain people in certain situations have more chance to be in danger than others) all we can do is prepare and try to stay safe. advice like that "don't go out at night, don't hail a cab" are good advice, and the people that give it usually give it with the best of intentions, because they don't want to see the people they care about get hurt. it's why parents constantly call their children even when they know where they are, just to make sure. the problem is you can't do what some people do and what this comic is showing, you can't shut yourself off from the world and stop doing all the things you enjoy just because you might get hurt, it's a danger inherent to life.
if you could please forgive my boorishly worded compatriot, I'm sure they meant no ill will.

I think it’s very reasonable to object to the priority being on solutions for the problem of “women putting themselves in danger” rather than addressing the problem of “men being a threat to women.”
In other words, the fact that it's common for women to feel threatened by men should be regarded as a problem, instead of an immutable fact of life.
yes we must kill all men and make do with testtube babies ;D

There's a quote in the article that I believe is an appropriate response to Ishigami's post. I will copy-and-paste it below:
“Some rapes can be prevented if women are not going out, whereas at least 90 percent of pernicious cases of murders, robberies, rapes, and arson can be prevented if men are not going out. I’d like to suggest men go out on the condition of being a woman’s companion. A good man won’t wander on the streets at midnight. If a man is outside alone late at night, he must be thinking of committing some sort of crime.”

Why do you feel the need to tell everyone that men are more likely to be killed than women? Why do you feel the need to tell everyone to not give a fuck about potentially getting raped or murdered?
I'm pretty damn sure that's not their point. The point is that men have higher chances of getting mugged, murdered or killed in an accident because they don't take good advice to heart. They don't give a fuck and therefore have a higher chance of being hurt or killed for it. So why is it offensive all of the sudden to give good safety advice for women in order to protect themselves? If they find this advice offensive and ignore it then they just open up themselves to equally being hurt and murdered as much as men.

It's not outrageous at all. It's a sad fact of life. You can't stop criminals 100% of the time but you have far more control of yourself and can prevent putting yourself in possibly dangerous situations. Men should follow the same advice to stay safe, but they don't and are more likely to become victims because of it.
Also, men do not "accept the risk" that they might get raped if they go out for a fun night out with some friends and yknow decide to take an Uber home. So fuck off.
Raped? There is definitely a risk, much lower than women but it's there. But if they don't take proper precautions when going out they accept the risks of being robbed or assaulted.
Never thought we'd have redpillers on this site...
Sure, let's not try to educate men about toxic masculinity and how masculine some people think it is for men to be brutal. How talking no for an answer and feeling like their ego gets shuttered to the point of them getting violent is not something that can change.
Also lets not even talk about what is morally good and bad at all, since people will do it anyway...
Yes women should be careful of all these stuff. But this doesn't negate the fact that we also need to educate men.
I don't see where someone say the opposite tho.

Victim shaming is awful but I don't see why giving advices is wrong, you can condemn the former while supporting the later. Why is telling people about the dangers of walking alone at night or travelling alone offensive? Parents especially aren't malicious about it, they just care a lot about their kids.

Going out with friends is actually way safer than being alone, it's a good advice.

Violence is the result of traumatic childhood, poverty, mental disorders, etc. Teaching psychopaths to not kill won't make them stop killing people.

Don't teach your daughters to be scared.
Teach your sons to be respectful (not only to women but other people in general).
It's the same approach, but has a much better result for everyone.
Some people try to do it, but the bad sheep keep messing shit up - again, for everyone.
So we also have to teach our children to be aware and hope eventually society catches on.
Pretending nothing's wrong will not make the problems go away. If anything it justifies them.
Don't teach your daughters to be scared.
Teach your sons to be respectful (not only to women but other people in general).
Or you can do both. Teach yours kids to be careful and respectful whatever gender they are. It's not because you're a boy you shouldn't be careful and it's not because you're a girl youshouldn't be respectful.

You are not wrong. I had hoped it was implied that both genders need to be taught respect.
But in many cultures (and families) girls are taught "respect" in the ways of learning to shut up, lower their heads and accept any and every unfair treatment given to them. (Victim-blaming is part of that culture.)
The type of respect I am refering to includes tolerance and empathy, a sort of "I am not the only one with emotions and desires", not meaning to cater to everyone's whims, but to acknowledge a common ground for interaction; if necessary both parties holding back unless a mutual consent is set, and not undermining (or underrating) another's value.
There's nothing wrong with being careful - I refered to that in my post as awareness. Teaching fear (or shame even), however, is not the way to do that.

Sometimes it's just that parents are overprotectives,they teach fear (indirectly)because they're afraid themselves that something happen to their kids.

yes and ironically that can hurt their kids (psychological) more than anything

It's not always black and white. Sure, there are some genetically inclined people who have higher risks of killing if raised in a certain way.
But there are also the cases where it can be prevented from educating people more. The crimes won't ever fully stop, but I think we can reduce them.
This kinda reminds me of the argument of some Americans for guns. Why ban them when the killer will find a way to kill anyway? But look at the statistics of the countries who don't give guns to everyone like candy.
Actual criminal psychopaths are a sufficiently marginal demographic segment to be essentially irrelevant to the discussion - though it's probably worth noting that apparently one of the few therapy methods that shows any promise with those people is along the lines of "enlightened self-interest".
The overwhelming majority of crimes are committed by quite normally functioning people being selfish pricks for any number of reasons.

In addition, I'd like to back-up your point even more by saying that, not only do mentally ill criminals make an tiny minority of criminals, but they also make an tiny minority of mentally ill people.

[...] Violence is the result of traumatic childhood, poverty, mental disorders, etc. [...]
We definitely should be asking why the powers that be ignore poverty and mental health.
Better question would be why the voters ignore them, in the context of societies where - as one cynic put it - "the people get exactly the leaders they deserve" by way of the ballot box...
