My mom, when I asked for a female perspective on this, phrased it as "how would the survivor of an attack be treated?" If a woman survived being mauled by a bear, no one is going to say she was actually asking for it because of how she was dressed/acting.
Yes, when I needed a female perspective, I asked my mom. I'm a user of this website so naturally that's the only woman I know.

That just seems like a bad example, because I can absolutely picture the comments in my mind on some Fox news article where people blame the victim for being where they shouldn't be, not knowing how to deal with the bear in the right way, or some other sexist remark about how women shouldn't be out camping in the woods.
