Interesting. Victim-blaming is a defense mechanism. If I blame a rape victim for dressing as a prostitute, I can take action to ensure I don’t get raped myself (avoid dressing slutty).

As an extension, calling somebody ignorant for victim-blaming is in a sense itself victim-blaming; they are just falling for the just-world fallacy.
