It's simple cognitive dissonance when it comes to our inability to accept that rape can happen to women who "don't deserve it" because we just hate to admit that we live in a world where bad things sometimes happen to good people. It causes us stress to think that rape can happen to women who DON'T ask for it, and we start thinking of our sisters and daughters etc. getting raped without being at fault. That's stressful, so let's just delude ourselves into thinking that stuff like that only happens to those who are asking for it, or are inattentive, or otherwise at fault.
We like to find ways to blame victims in many cases because admitting that blameless people, or we ourselves, could be the victim of misfortune or wrongdoing is upsetting. We'd rather be delusional than upset. So it goes.
