There is a difference between the meaning of "could" and "should", I don't see how you can't understand that.
Well, actually maybe I do partly understand because I'm guessing you're not noticing the difference because you are so emotionally charged IMO.

I see you didn't read the articles either. Perhaps you should. Particularly the one in the very last link. Do read the entire thing.
Because as soon as you remark 'well, if only you'd done X, you wouldn't have been raped', you've blamed the victim. Every time you put the onus of avoiding rape on the victim, you contribute to the problem rather than fix the problem.
Eilonnwy also explains it to you. But, feel free to dismiss her as just another crazy bitch with a victim complex, just another dumb, irresponsible, foolish woman. It's pretty much what we've come to expect from those who cling to the status quo of rape culture.
