I think she might perfectly well know about what goes where, but not think that she herself was in any danger of getting raped (that happens to other people, like, uh, I dunno, famines or something). There is a big difference between knowing the "facts of life" and having the ability to size up a social situation realistically. At that age I don't think I would have had a clue about date rape, either (whereas I *had* had some rather frightening brushes with strange men, fortunately not resulting in anything serious).
