But just going by the title, other than "suggesting masturbation is always a no-no" puritanical mindset that dominates America, I don't see what's so bad here? Doesn't sound like they're blaming the victims, and even if potential predators jerking off doesn't do anything to lower the amount of assaults, it's not like it's going to make it worse, either... Seems like a pointless thing to have a controversy over.

The biggest complaint is that it's treating a very serious issue very lightly. In context, that wasn't the case, but taken on its own, "just whack it instead of raping somebody" is grossly oversimplifying the complex cultural issues that contribute to people not recognizing how or why sexual assault is bad. It's fine in a joking context, but as part of a presentation on sexual assault, which is supposed to be taking the matter seriously and providing useful information? I can see why it'd rub (tee hee) some people the wrong way.
