Nobody "tries to put [rape] on the victim."  That is a mischaracterization of the problems involved in persecuting rape cases.  In many cases it boils down to 'he said, she said', two conflicting accounts of what happened.  That rape is considered by society to be heinous is not a new concept.  Those who actually rape are demented people, often with mental illness (i.e. personality disorders; not an excuse for rape, obviously).  Now, more than ever, perhaps, with all the attention the issue of rape receives from the media (as compelled by political pressure from feminist groups, etc) there is an incorrect notion in circulation that society somehow condones rape or blames the victims for their rape.  Because conviction requires evidence, and because cases of rape often lack substantial evidence, conviction rates for rape run low compared with many other crimes.  But these numbers don't suggest a 'Rape Culture' or 'Victim Blaming'.  To look at it as such would be reactive and unreasoned
