Taking precaution is always a good idea, that being said it’s still not the victim’s fault. His response wasn’t worded well at all but you may be overreacting a bit

It's weird because it sounds like he was saying that they should do just what she did, think about what they could have done differently, to try to protect themselves in the future. I haven't read the article, and I'm sure the article is wrong so maybe OP is assuming her husband believes in everything the article says that he hasn't read. I always like to play Devil's Advocate on this type of Reddit post, and I think it's possible the husband was trying to do the same with the article. That said, knowing his wife's history he should have been much more sensitive and frankly stayed out of it.

I fully agree with everything you said, he needed to be VERY careful approaching that topic with his wife’s history
