The kinds of scenario you are hinting at is very rare.
What you're saying, in effect, is that women should not go out and get drunk. Which is ridiculous. I've probably been out and got drunk over 5,000 times. My lifetime risk of getting raped is around 1 in 4. And you're telling me that the only way I can reasonably expect not to get blamed for my own rape is spend those many thousands of nights at home alone instead?
Or are youu saying that I should be getting walked home thousands and thousands of times by a man who is 10x more likely to rape me than the stranger you're imagining /able to distance yourself from.
Or are you saying that unless we're all teetotal virgins, you're going to sit on the fucking fence.
You know who is loving your work? The rapists who are hearing you tell them they're normal. Because the only people who think that all men are rapists are rapists.
STFU
See, I never specified the situation. You just assumed that. I deliberately stayed vague, but you jumped to the conclusion that I meant your specific circumstances.
That's very much a you problem. Staying vague means we're going to assume you're talking about the 10yo girl who was raped by her dad. And that you think she should take some responsibility. If that's not what you mean I'd highly suggest you stop talking. Maybe delete your account. And just really take an unending break on telling victims what to do.
