I disagree. Take the sentence in the post:

A third of people believe a woman is partially or completely responsible for being raped if she has behaved flirtatiously, a survey suggests

-- it could just as easily be phrased:

A third of people believe a woman is partially or completely responsible for a man raping her if she has behaved flirtatiously, a survey suggests.

Likewise, you could just as easily talk about "the time when X stabbed me" as opposed to "the time when I was stabbed" and still be talking about you and the stabbing, not about X.
