That quote is a strawman of safety advice.

If I leave my car doors unlocked and the windows down, would anyone think I "deserve" to have my stereo stolen? If you advise me to lock the doors and roll the windows up next time, are you "blaming the victim"? Is my response of, "Don't tell me to secure my car, tell the thief to stop stealing stereos" appropriate?
