no, i don't actually. i think the wording is so open to interpretation it's hard to say... i'd need to know the exact context and hear thw tone, etc. The phrase is distasteful, but as much as it is i don't see it as putting the blame on the girl at all... i see it as the opposite..
you see... i hear the phrase "servicing" and i think of servitude.. slavery...in bondage to... i don't feel that implies "bringing it on themselves" at all. The phrase makes me think of something or someone being used as if they weren't human, like an object... and again, that doesn't make me think of blaming the victim.
that's just my opinion really... but for very personal reasons, i really believe in what i just said
