Women are viewed as inherently dishonest, untrustworthy, as manipulative and as seducers who thereby have instigated the assault, the man merely being guilty of slipping and accidentally giving into “natural” impulses ultimately triggered by the woman. So the victim-blaming is all tied up in how we view women, men, and sex - men are always seeking sex, women always “have” the sex that the men are seeking, etc.>

Yep and that’s a big part of the issue. In media women are presented really badly, and no surprise, many scripts, directors, producers etc are men. That’s just one way the narrative is spread and it effects how we see certain crimes.
