I haven't read the article mp, but I feel it may have something to do with the need for personal responsibility.

Rape is a hideous crime and can never be excused.
I dont think anyone in their right mind would attempt to excuse it, but we must all at some point take some responsibility for our actions.

We would not, for example, walk out into the motorway with our eyes shut; and in the same way, women or men should avoid getting drunk and allowing themselves to be taken to a strangers home, alone.

The crime is still inexcusible, but in cases like these the victims are acting in an extremely irresponsible manner.
