Yeah, over here it's something like, if a male has sex with a woman under 16 (but over 13), even if they are willing as in Vanilla's case then it's sexual assault, but if an older female sleeps with a boy under 16 then it's only indecent assault and is a lesser offence. Seems a bit bull**** to me but there we go. If two under 16 year olds have sex, I guess they might be termed rapists, but they'll not really get into any bother about it, illegal but not enforced.

On topic, its never the victims fault, obviously. Rapists are scum. However things like staying with groups of friends, not walking home alone etc will in some cases factor in to the rape "scenario" but the same can be said for avoiding trouble in general (i don't include the dressing slutty bull**** because imo rapists are looking to take advantage of situations where they feel "empowered" they don't just get a whiff of skirt and decide on the day, but maybe I'm wrong). It shouldn't be the case but, unfortunately, it is. Some comments along those lines can draw the "victim blaming" tag, but I don't really think they are.
