Regarding this discussion, and not talking about your point specifically, I've seen this called 'victim-blaming' (
example) and it really isn't.
It's not victim-blaming to tell people to look for cars before crossing the street. Sure, it's the driver's responsibility not to hit you, but you still take precautions to protect yourself.
I believe that discouraging people from protecting themselves and discouraging people from telling others to protect themselves is actually harmful and dangerous.
