This!!! This is exactly why we live in a rape culture, which consists not only of a high number of rapes and treating survivors badly, it's also too many men feeling like "it's not my problem - I mean after all, what was she wearing..."

“[Ours] is a culture in which sexualized violence, sexual violence, and violence-by-sex are so common that they should be considered normal. Not normal in the sense of healthy or preferred, but an expression of the sexual norms of the culture, not violations of those norms. Rape is illegal, but the sexual ethic that underlies rape is woven into the fabric of the culture.” — Robert Jensen
