I was thinking about this from the perspective of a parent. My daughter is 20 and I remember discussing this issue with her before she started dating, and again when she left for college. Reflecting on that conversation, I did put the burden of responsibility on her. My son is 11, and soon enough we'll be having a similar conversation. I will put the burden of responsibility on him, and instill that he should never make assumptions no matter the circumstances. No excuses and no justifications.
Teaching your daughter to be sensible is always a good idea. While some of the intellectually challenged on here insist that some of us are placing THE blame on the woman, I have yet to see one post - from a male or female - who has actually said that. Some of us see some issue of personal responsibility in certain circumstances. Teaching your daughter to avoid those circumstances is sensible.
