There was another attempted attack on a street in Staten Island earlier this week and that woman was also wearing pants. Wearing pants doesn't protect one from rape. It reminds me of that ignorant judge in Italy who said a woman couldn't have been raped because she was wearing tight jeans.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing this out - I thought the "skirt" thing sounded hinky, but I hadn't had time to look up the actual attacks. Key point - the advice isn't actually based in anything but that one cop's opinion of how a good woman dresses.
