Rape is a heinous act performed when one party wishes to exact complete power and control over another. The definition of rape, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network is:

". . . forced sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal, or oral penetration. Penetration may be by a body part or an object."

Rape is often known as "sexual assault" or "sexual abuse," particularly in the law. However, sexual assault and sexual abuse are defined more broadly whereas the term rape specifies intercourse.

Threats of violence or weapons may be used during rape but in about 8-out-of-10 cases, nothing but the physical force is used. Weapons or threats are not required for an act to be considered rape.

It is important to know that either gender can be the perpetrator or the victim of rape. Additionally, both heterosexual and homosexual rapes take place both inside and outside of relationships. It's critical to understand that rape is never okay and that no matter the circumstance, rape is never the victim's fault (healthyplace.com)

Ways to Avoid/Prevent Rape
There is no one right or wrong way to act in order to avoid rape. But there are some things a woman can do that may make her less likely to suffer from being a victim of rape. What a woman does depends on how well she knows the man, how afraid she is, and how much danger she thinks she is in. Remember, if a woman is raped, it is not because she failed to avoid the rape, but because someone stronger forced himself on her.

Women can learn about rape prevention and use this knowledge to help them stay safe in many situations where sexual assault could occur. You can help prevent rape by taking these steps

Do your work with other women; This might be difficult sometimes, mostly among the students You will be safer and stronger if you work together in groups. Do not let anyone who makes you feel nervous into your home. Do not let him know if you are there alone.
Never walk alone; Try not to walk alone, especially at night. If you must go alone, hold your head up and act as though you feel confident. Most rapists will look for a woman who looks easy to attack. If you think you are being followed, try walking in another direction, or go up to another person, a house, or a store. Or, turn around and ask him very loudly what he wants. (en.hesperian.org)

Listen to your intuition when alone – Although you can never fully protect yourself from potential sexual assault, it's important that you avoid dangerous situations. Stay aware of your surroundings, avoid isolated public areas, walk with determination even if you're lost, trust your gut, keep your cell phone charged and with you, avoid going somewhere alone with a person you don't know well, don't use music headphones when walking alone.

You started well and finished badly. First you said rape can be commited by either gender, that means victims of rape can either be men, women or children but your advise on how to protect oneself from rape was only for women, this writeup had good intentions but you spoilt it with your selfish sympathy for women.

Ok.

It's only logical that his advice should tilt towards the gender with the higher prevailence of rape reports.

Yeah I know but he could have just given men a little advise.

ARRANT NONSENSE!!!!
there is no way ANYONE can prevent rape, because this is an act by deranged demons, that can happen anywhere from any surrounding demons...and if they want to rape (and spend the rest of their lives in jail) they will.
