If I go walking down a dark alley in a sketchy part of night, I'm not literally asking to get mugged, nor is it my fault if I do, but I certainly made my odds worse by doing what I did.
Pretending that these risk factors don't exist is actually harmful to society. People need to know about the risks they're taking.

You now have a daughter.
Would you like her to go out to the club that alcohol will be consumed wearing this.

Late to the party, but I have to bring this up...
It's guys like you and Toronto's Constable Michael Sanguinetti who believe what a female is wearing has a factor on being victims of violent crimes.
Heard of something called "Slutwalk"?
Its an annual international rally that was started in 2011 because women offended by Sanguinetti's comments in a Campus Safety forum claiming
"women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized"
over 3000 has shown up for the first rally in Toronto
while what you claim is less extreme than Sanguinetti has said, but is in line with the victim blaming belief.
