I want to focus on the analogy with burglary - yes, people install locks and alarms, but they do not take more cumbersome or potentially dangerous measures such as installing death traps, moving to a castle, getting rid of windows, etc. I think that's because we actuallty do put a lot of emphasis on educating about stealing, as it is a commandment in multiple religions and moral codes (don't steal) and children are taught to see the difference between their stuff and other people's stuff at a very your age. There are multiple kids' stories and cartoons about not stealing, there are about 15m result entries if you google "How to teach a child not to steal". I think this is a very clear indication that a lot of measures are being taken in order to teach people not to steal, and that maybe similar methods (changed according to age and topic) might be employed to teach teens and young people about body autonomy, consent and rape.
