She is at fault, but to a lesser extent than the rapist themself. IE: the person who made the gun likely did not do so with the intent of murdering an individual who was murdered... but that is not to suggest that the gun used in the murder (and hence its maker as well) was not responsible in some way for the events that occurred. Indeed, it is quite reasonable to suggest that had the gun not been available, the murder victim would not have been shot.
So also is it true... that the woman who appears more vulnerable and attractive is more likely to be raped. It is a contributing factor to the rape... and your disbelief in such I find ridiculous. If attractiveness did not enter into the equation... then I should think a hole would be the most vulnerable target... I mean: why bother going after a moving hole, attached to a woman who will make the sex more difficult (or annoying, if she cries)... when one might obtain a simple hole of proper size quite easily? More to the point... why bother going for a hole at all: does one not have a hand or three?
Understand that sexual attractiveness is perhaps the single most important aspect of why a rape occurs... else why would the vulnerability matter? Vulnerable targets are all well and good... but they still do not warrant notice (or especially action) unless vulnerability would aid the action intended by the being with intent
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
