Let me take the specific research question: does victim dress influence attribution of victim responsibility in rape cases? The answer appears to be "yes". Actual causal role of dress is not relevant because even in that case, the onus of rape has to be on the criminal.
You may like to go through some research papers: -
- Whatley, M. A. (1996). Victim characteristics influencing attributions of responsibility to rape victims: A meta-analysis. Agression and Violent Behavior, 1(2), 81-95
- Workman, J. E. & Freeburg, E. W. (1999). An examination of date rape, victim dress, and perceiver variables within the context of attribution theory. Sex Roles, 41(3/4), 261-277.
- Whatley, M. A. (2005). The effect of participant sex, victim dress, and traditional attitudes on causal judgements for marital rape victims. Journal of Family Violence, 20(3), 191-200.
Regarding your example of Genesis. It only shows a stage in
life...not that with wife, the duties concerning parents are left behind.
Available older literature may show that the phenomenon is fairly recent in
terms of its reach. It was not a shame for us if a girl would call as
"bhaiya" when we were in school or in college. Though, things were
different during MBA.
