Unfortunately, it's because there's a possibility that one of their actions might incite someone to rape them (or someone else) that their being careful is probably for 'the best'. It isn't about necessity, but about measured respect for the possibility of a negative occurrence
I guess that what women wear has little bearing on the probability of a woman getting raped (at least in the western world). Geographical & hour of day do. Its perfectly reasonable to advise a woman not to walk alone less reputable, isolated places at night. Even if she is completely clothed.
