You seem to be confusing what the term "relevent" means re: down-voting. (or perhaps just want down-voting is for) down-voting is a community moderation tool, to be used on comments that are off-topic, trolling, spam,…
I'd say so. Also, I somewhat agree with the grand-parent that the way the woman in the article compares telling a woman to not wear a skirt in order to avoid rape with talking/thinking about ways she might have avoided…
