Of course, there is not but a single way a girl can be attractive

Nobody says it is. However, it is a contributing factor. Also, would you kindly exemplify a man raping a woman while she is still wearing the that clothing, and not 'ripping it off' so to speak?
People also can steal from you for 6 bucks and a beer, and kill you while they do so. Money isn't the "culprit" for theft (that would be the person who steals, and with rape it would be the one who rapes)... however is is a contributing factor to being stolen from.
To use a non-crime example... what's the fat kid more likely to choose to eat when given the choice: A bunch of Brussels spouts that make him gag... or his favorite burger? The sprouts and the burger are not the "culprit" for fatty's eating choice... their status as things he likes and dislikes, however, is. Therefore the burger's status as a thing he likes is a contributing factor to at least a consideration of what to eat on his part... and often it would be a contributing factor to his choice of what to eat.
Now when a girl is dressed in a way that arouses sexual feelings... her clothing style is a contributing factor to those thoughts. If those thoughts should manifest in the form of rape, then it is clear that the clothing was a factor that contributed to her being raped. Another possible factor to her being raped might have been her not carrying around a gun, or not shooting the rapist soon enough. Nobody here is suggesting that sexy clothing will have a person raped... but it is just ignorant to not recognize that it will appeal to rapists, and might well contribute to her being raped in the event that she is.

It's not as if there are any other female targets to choose from (than those wearing those things) But of course, the rapists in those countries would probably blame the rape on the woman
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
