I agree that there is no justification for rape. It's a crime, and a bad one.
Some women do indeed wear clothes to attract men; and of those, some do maybe flirt with a little too much promise of sex only to say no.
Flirting is a fun social activity and people tend to over estimate the intelligence of the person they are flirting with to gage how real it is. This is where dangers can spark. There is no excuse for rape, as you say.
However, There are women that are proud of the way they look and like to show it off in the same way muscle men like to show off their bodies. No-one comments on men in tight jeans or short shorts and no shirt that flirt.
There are also women that are insecure about they way they look or about some other aspect of themselves but like the attention they get from people if they dress in a sexy or tarty way as they realise men look at them lustfully and women with jealousy and this makes them feel more sexy, beautiful, cool or just more secure. Sometimes they just like the adrenalin rush they get when they are lusted at or the sense of power they feel from the jealous looks of other women.
Some women simply like the clothes and sometimes the compliments from both genders. It is an unintelligent society that misunderstands lawful freedom of choice if it is different from what society conditions them to believe.
I’m sure you agree that none of these are excuses to rape. However, they are reasons, amongst others, why women flirt and dress sexily even if they don’t want sex.
For whatever reason, they might want the attention, but not the rape.
