If the woman had not been foolish and ignored the risk, she would not have been raped. Therefore the woman was raped because she was foolish and ignored the risk.
I cannot explain it more simply than that. You are now standing with your hand in water and denying it is wet.
You are blaming the victim. You are holding the victim responsible for the crime occurring.
My leaving the door unlocked did not cause my house to be robbed. Before the door being locked even came into play the thief had to make the decision to come to my house to rob it. The door being locked would not have changed the outcome, the thief had already decided to rob.
A woman wearing sexy clothes does not incite or attract rape. The rapist has already decided to rape. Her clothing is not a factor. Her clothing cannot cause a man who would not otherwise rape to rape. Her clothing is not a factor. Her actions cannot cause a man who would not otherwise rape to rape. Her actions are not a factor.
You are placing blame on the victim. There are two motivations for this. Because I am nice, I have thus far attributed the first motivation to you, that of you don't want to admit it can happen to any woman. Because you are continuing to deny it, I am forced to wonder if the second motivation is more accurate.
Perhaps the truth is that you have fantasies about raping a woman in sexy cloths, therefore you can identify with the rapist who targets a woman in sexy clothes. Because you do not like thinking of yourself as a rapist, you instead cope by placing the blame onto the woman. If she wasn't dressed like she was asking for it, you wouldn't be inclined to give it to her.
It's your problem, not the woman's.
