I understand your reasoning but that line of thinking does place blame on the victim, don't it? Does the victim really deserve the blame? Also saying that girls dressing up like whores could cause those oddballs to rape other people takes the blame away from the rapist. Dude is hella fucked up in the head and anything could set him off, watching porn, seeing pictures in a magazine, anything.
Also, statistics say that most rape victims know the assaulter personally. It's typically not just some oddball on the street who saw a girl in a short skirt and decided he's going to rape the bitch.

In some cases, the victim deserves some of blame. Not in all cases, but in some cases.
Many of the people who are raped have a history of putting themselves in higher risk situations because of their own psychological issues.
Making the choice to put yourself in a higher risk situation means you are partially responsible - because you made the choice to do so.
You may argue that they are putting themselves in such higher risk situations because of the aforemetnoned pyschological issues, so in reality it is not their fault.
However, many of the rapists themselves commit their crimes because of psychological issues so blaming the victim's issues in one instance would impact blame in the other instance. In other words, if the victim is exempted from fault because of psychological issues, than it would consequently mitigate the fault of the perpetrator.
It's not a black and white issues and should be looked at on a spectrum.
If a girl is sitting in her home watching TV and some guy randomly breaks in and rapes her - The victim obviously had 0 fault.
On the other hand, if Lela Star is going door to door naked, ringing doorbells and then bending over and spreading her ass when someone answers the door - I would say she is partially at fault if someone does something to her.
Wearing abnormally provocative clothing generates an innate reproductive impulse in the opposite sex. Some people cannot control that impulse. We know that some people can't control that impulse. Taking that risk is a choice someone makes.
Look this is not to say that the assaulters aren't terrible people who should be violently punished and are totally wrong for what they do - only that knowingly taking a risk puts some blame on the risk taker.
