Do you also think women should not be allowed to wear revealing clothes, lest they get raped? I hope not. People deserve to be themselves without getting raped, or bullied.

No. Nor have I said anything like that.

Sure, but we don't live in a world where such things can be completely prevented. Therefore, every person has a responsibility to take reasonable precautions for their own safety and well-being.
Derailing conversations about what people can or should have done to avoid being victimized with accusations of "victim blaming" is actually quite infantilizing and perpetuates vulnerability.
It's called an analogy. If you'd think for a few minutes you'd see the two situations are pretty similar. Of course one is far more extreme than the other, but both put the blame on the victim. Stop victim blaming.
Acknowledging that a person has agency and responsibility for their own well being is simply not the same thing as blaming them when they are victimized by other people.
Until you understand that, there can be no meaningful discussion. If you continue making accusations and demands, expect to be flagged.
