A third of people believe a woman is partially or completely responsible for being raped if she has behaved flirtatiously, a survey suggests. (Note: this survey took place in Britain)

Also, as ginmar notes: "Why... do we keep saying 'when women get raped'? It's passive voice without an actual person doing the raping. Why is that, huh?"

This is my point, exactly. The person/event being talked about should be the subject of the sentence; everything else comes in add-on clauses or prepositional phrases.
