There's a big difference between victim blaming and risk avoidance.

Absolutely. And whilst risk avoidance is extremely important it bothers me when discussing something like this someone tries to make the point not simply that risk avoidance is extremely important but they also try to make this point by saying that the victim is "partially to blame", as you say, the victim is never to blame... "blame" is absolutely the wrong word to be used directed at the victim, it doesn't help the victim to talk about risk avoidance in that way. Victim blaming is harmful.

You're absolutely right.

* Edwardo Piet tries to not get too impassioned by this.

Ack, we have too many of these threads.
