The ultimate result is still undesirable.
Of course I'll teach her to be smart/safe, but ultimately smart and safe don't matter. Meanwhile, my wife is working with the frat boys to teach them that no, it's not OK to get a girl hammered and have your way with her without her consent, to abuse them verbally, emotionally, or physically, etc. etc. Changing men's attitudes toward women is a much more effective way of changing things than just telling women to stay inside, never drink, and not interact with the opposite sex ever.
