as far as the stepping on coals analogy goes, the difference is someone else is committing the crime. if a woman is not wearing coal protective clothing, the coal isnt going to know that and attack her. if a woman is wearing slutty clothes, some people say she was asking for it if a man jumps up and assaults her. thats why there is a huge fuss, people think its ok to commit crimes if people are "asking for it."

going to the getting mugged analogy, just because you have money and are flashing it around does not mean you are asking to be robbed. i think its insane that people could even believe that people are asking for harm to be done to them by the way they act. it is never the victims fault.

humans are more intelligent than bears

yes.  they are much more capable of stalking and ambushing their prey.  you may not even see the rapist in the shadow of an alley or under a large tree.

From my understanding, those only represent a very small percentage of the rape cases in the western world ...

i completely agree! it can never be the rape victims responsibility to have been raped. no matter how she was dressed or where she went. it's absolutely the culprits responsibility and they are the only ones at fault for the crime.

however you raise a few interesting subjects.

 Obviously no one's telling them to walk on the streets alone at night.

and why is that?  because it is common sense? because they should be knowing that anyway? because it is dangerous for anyone?

It's not as if she's stepping on hot coal and getting her legs burnt. 

same! common knowledge! do not step on hot coal, or if you have to go in the hot coal area wear the right shoes! is that what you are saying? i don't think anyone would disagree with that.

anyway, my point is it can never be theit fault if they are victims of a rape. but will that knowledge help them if they do get raped? i don't think so.

those are the types that likely would choose the most opportune and not care what they are wearing(as they are already out for the purpose of rape) but it goes well with the bear example describing an animal like predator

I find sapphi snake's responses very funny.

Parents tell their children all the time that roaming alone is dangerous for them, they might get kidnapped. So imagine in such a situation if all the kids start roaming alone to f&*king prove a point.

I realize that women are grown human beings and all, but honestly, what the policeman said was hardly saying like rape was a woman's fault or anything like that. Its like saying lock your f&*king doors at night if you don't want thieves to steal your property.

Some activists are really the most dumb people on this planet.

He didn't say that. He told them not to wear "revealing" clothing, and suggested that women that wear such clothing are "sluts". He also implied that "sluts" are asking to be raped, after all, that's what you can deduce when someone tells you: "Don't wanna get raped? Don't dress like a slut!".

They say that animals are purely driven by instinct, wheras humans have rational thought. Due to this you presented a bad analogy. As I said before, rape is not a natural consequence of wearing revealing clothing.
