That crappy advice didn't work in the 80's when it was touted, now did it? I guess it's time to pull out the old comic again:
“Anytime someone demands money from you, you should not resist in any way, especially if they produce a weapon,” Sgt. Sam Pobjecky said. “If they are violent enough to carry a weapon, they are certainly violent enough to use it.”
Does that include you Sarge? Do you consider yourself 'violent'?
Here's what I say to you. F*ck off. Your little list of 'how to be a passive victim' is the equivalent of telling women to dress in Burkas to keep from being raped. Would you tell her she was 'asking for it' if she was wearing a skirt? No? That's basically what you're telling everyone to do.
How about I "assume" that they are going to hurt me? How about I put a couple rounds into them the second they threaten me? Would you support my actions or will you continue to enable their violence by encouraging passivity?

like the sexism in that cartoon, it automatically assumes the assailant is a Man.
in the first frame that is.....
“If they are violent enough to carry a weapon, they are certainly violent enough to use it.”
Then they had damned well better be able to, and use it well, because I most certainly am
