It strikes me that that's on the same order of generalisation as one of Faith's "all Muslims are terrorists' type statements

You're not required to avoid completely legal behaviors simply because someone else might make a bad choice.
Of course you're not required to but sometimes it is a good idea.
If men have free will, then there's no risk of rape; there's merely the possibility that a man will chose to try to rape you.
There are bad guys out there who will try to rape strippers. It is a risk that strippers accept when they take a job. Thats why they usually bring the big black bald bouncers with them.

Shouldn't they take some responsibility for their actions?
Yeah, we all should.
It is a risk that strippers accept when they take a job.
Is it? You have her signature on a waiver that says "you might get raped"?
How many strippers do you personally know?
The ones I know are aware that some of the guys they strip for want to rape them and they accept it as a risk. One of the reasons they bring a body guard.
I don't understand what you mean by "accept the risk". Aren't you "accepting the risk" of all kinds of bad stuff simply by leaving your home?
Yes, I am. The first thing I do when I get in my car is put my seatbelt on.
But you do leave your home, right? If you get hit by a car in the supermarket parking lot, didn't you "accept the risk"? So you have no right to complain, or even file an insurance claim against the driver?
Why wouldn't I? Because I accepted the risk? That's why I have insurance, because of the risks.
Why does accepting a risk mean, to you, that one exempts themself from the consequences?
I'm just curious how far "accepting the risk" goes, since it only ever seems to be something women are required to do.
You see what you want to see.
P.S. So, you left the State of Misery, I mean, Missouri...
How's that going for you? New job, or something? You and the wife both happy about it?
