I was going to quote a few of you and pick apart all the stupid bullshit but I found it would be way less time consuming to just write a couple paragraphs.
I'm going to assume by everyone's responses here that you are all males. There very nature of having a penis between your legs affords you a lot of privileges.
-Do you walk to your car at night worried you're going to be attacked or raped?
-Do you worry people assume you were promoted because you gave sexual favors to your boss?
-Do you feel intimidated every time you purchase contraceptives or condoms?
-Do you worry you'll be blamed if you're attacked at a friend's party while drinking?
-Do you experience a flood of harassment online because of your gender?
-Do you worry people will assume you're a slut for wearing a tank top or skirt in public?
-Do you worry people will assume your less intelligent or competent in the workplace because of your gender?
-Have withheld information about your sexual conquests because people might assume you're a slut?
-Have you ever worried about how your gender is portrayed in the media?
These represent a fraction of the bullshit a woman has to face every day of their life beginning with puberty. Things that fortunately for men are of no concern. Your mistakes, your failures, your weaknesses do not reflect your gender as a whole, you can go through life and feel certain that as a victim you won't bear the blame if another person violates or attacks you. This is a privilege that is not afforded to the female gender. No matter what a woman is wearing in no way does she bear ANY responsibility when another person attacks or rapes her. As a civilized society it's our responsibility to ensure the safety of every person no matter what they may be wearing or where they may be. Putting the victim in a position of questioning is a misdirection and a failure on our part to address the real issue of why these attacks occur.
The question should not be "what was she wearing" but "why did this attack occur and what can we do to prevent it again"?
Edit: I read through everyone's posts again and I think ad_hominem put it best when he said...

It's a shifting of responsibility from the man (in this case the attacker) to the woman (the victim), and it occurs because in most cultures/societies a woman's actions are scrutinized much more harshly for the very fact that she is a woman. This occurs because quite simply most positions of power on this planet are held by men, and when there is a failing within our own group we look for ways to misdirect responsibility.
