I suspect that entire books have been written on the subject. With any other crime it doesn't seem to get the same grief, despite the fact that it seems much more clear cut. "Lock your doors" is not seen as victim blaming, despite the fact that nobody, anywhere has ever consented to having their house broken into and their stuff taken. "Don't get pissed because it may well impair your ability to communicate clearly and you'll also probably be around other pissed people whose judgement will be impaired" is unforgivable victim blaming, despite the fact that there's the added complication that sex is something that people do consensually (unlike being burgled). Essentially (as above) it's a fucking nightmare.
