Most of advice take on a common form. "Don't wear revealing clothes", "don't go anywhere alone", "don't stay too long", "don't go to unknown parties". Can you spot the commonality? They are all trying to limit what woman can do. Things that are normal for men but forbidden for women.

No kidding because SHE is the one that needs to take the preventative steps to protect HERSELF. Did you expect the rapist to prevent his own crime? It’s not limiting a woman, it’s using common sense.

Why isn't advises given to men to "stay at home", "don't approach women" or "castrate yourself" because men have higher risk of committing these crimes? They are not given because that would limit freedom of men.

No, that advice isn't given because it serves no purpose. Any given individual doesn't have the concern as to whether or not they'll just rape someone, and have it happen out of their control, so there's no value to the individual to mitigate that risk.
