The same as when you're asked to not leave your own belongings unattended in an airport or something. It doesn't mean that it's the victims fault that the criminal has committed a crime, but leaving your bags unattended is making it too easy for that criminal to act.

And continuing on from that... someone on this thread said, suppose it was your daughter. Well, suppose it was your son or your brother... he gets a bit pissed has sex with a girl who's also a bit pissed, next morning she decides she didn't give consent and has been raped. There is evidence of intercourse and its her word against his. It's a very contentious issue.
If a man rapes a woman (or another man for that matter) after she (or he) has made it clear that they don't want to have sex, then that's a horrible crime and he should go to jail, it would be absolutely the right thing to happen. However, Bring drink into the equation and the issue isn't quite so clear cut.
