Are you seriously suggesting that we should continue to talk about it even if we know talking about it increases the number of women raped? To make you feel better?

I've never understood this attitude:

"What you are doing is costly and has been shown to be useless/counterproductive."

"But we have to do SOMETHING."

Besides, the author was not saying we shouldn't talk about the problem, just that this one particular way of talking about it worsens the problem.
