Frankly, I can't see "she/he asked for it" being an excuse for stalking or assault even if a the perp has a video recording of the victim yelling into the camera "come and get me asshole." There is NO excuse for stalking/assault/rape. Period. Ever. No matter how someone begs and pleads for it.
However, I do get frustrated when someone dresses provocatively (knowingly) and gets pissed off over the equivalent of (reasonable) wolf whistles or stares. THAT they're asking for. And yes, even those too can go into harassment, but 45 seconds of it as she passes a construction site (to use a cliche) is not harassment. IMHO.
