I am convinced that if you encourage the belief that women are sex objects, or objects of physical value, then this has obvious, violent consequences.
I disagree. Violent acts are committed by violent people, whether it's a sexual crime or otherwise. I don't think suppressing a woman's sexuality or sexual prowess has anything to do with saving them from becoming victims of crimes that may or may not happen. I don't agree with putting sexual behavior down as a "you asked for it" type of tsk tsk oppression and I don't think that women should abide by some standard that keeps them from feeling good about themselves.
I think women are just as sexual today as men, and should not be led to believe that being so makes them a more viable target for sexual abuse and violent crimes.
Empowering women by letting them know that violence is violence no matter what act is perpetrated is a better route than oppressing behaviors that tend to give pleasure to both parties involved in any sort of mutual exchange of a sexual nature.
If you use sexual prowess of women against them in this sort of oppressive way, you are taking away their power, not saving them from harms way.
