Blaming the Victem is only what people who support the convict do. Though I support that in the real world, if I were to look at it as an equation that a woman did dress provocatively, it would only be a small piece of the equation, but a piece non the less. They make more appealing targets depending on the rapists tastes and so on so forth, it all adds up to an equation. People may think that "Well why on earth are you supporting the convict by spouting this equation shit", i'm not supporting him, hes a scumbag and frankly deserves to have his nuts nailed to a stump and pushed backwards.
Women, you can't just go and believe that you can dress any way you want and get away with it. For example, if I looked at a gorgeous woman who just happened to be dressed provocatively, I would be refered to as a pervert. Does that make me the pervert or her the idiot for dressing as such? Frankly it is all just a logical fallacy that has been created called "Free Will", which was instituted by Walt Disney when he created Happy Endings for Fairy Tales which never existed until he came along (As you can tell, I blame him for many of the worlds problems).
When humans instituted that they had free will, it of course was a good thing, but it had repercussions. These consequences are the choices of the common individual. If we continue with the rape topic and the equations, I will add to them the recent inquiry of Free Will. People believe that nothing bad will happen because they no longer were trained to expect horrible things in life (I thank the frozen bastard Walt Disney for this), because of this, they no longer instituted their own safeguards to protect themselves in times of trouble. This Free Will they generated also forced them to create an illusion of "Happy Endings", that everything might work out in the end no matter what (yes, thats right, optimism can be bad if used incorrectly). No it won't, for gods sake Sleeping Beauty was raped, had children, and never woke up, there was no happy ending. The Little Mermaid commited suicide, because she wanted her "true love" to survive with his new bride, no happy ending there either.
So to simply blame the victem is both too general and wrong, there is too many variables as to why the victem was chosen, but we know why the victem was chosen and that is why we must support them, not point at them! to blame the convict is precise and correct, but is part of a larger picture, I still support the stump nailing however (so watch yourself rapists!). We cannot by any means look at a simple situation and believe that it is just one thing, for gods sake I found a link between Rape and Walt Disney, imagine the possibilities of truely finding THE larger picture, the true reason why it all happens.
Keep your minds open, be yourself, and protect not only yourself, but others as well.
