The article was trying to place the whole affair within a larger context. It wasn't trying to pick apart Richard's behavior but reflect how the reaction to her behavior is based on ingrained norms within the community and society at large. You don't have to agree with what Richard's did to have that discussion.

Except it didn't place the _whole_ affair within a larger context. It places a one-sided version of it within a larger context.

I think the larger context is important (and the way that Adriana was attacked was vile). But that does not make her original behaviour ok.
