186. That's not an example of "blaming the victim"...

If somebody stated "She was dressed like a slut, so she deserved to be raped", THAT would be "blaming the victim".

If somebody stated "The kid was a brat, so the kid deserved to be smacked", THAT would also be "blaming the victim".

You seem to equate discussing related factors with blaming the victim and/or excusing the behavior of the assailant...and that simply isn't the case.
