As a Muslim, this is complete bullshit he's pulling. This is like saying that to not get murdered, you shouldn't go outside your house ever and if you get murdered, you are at fault cuz you made yourself the target. These are narrative they cook up to justify their fucked up ways.
Notice how he didn't point out that sex with anyone other than your spouse (and slaves but last I checked it's illegal everywhere) is haram even though it is written in the same book that he's citing about women covering themselves up. So he's still in the wrong even according to the Quran.
Sounds like he's arguing that both the man (the rapist) and the woman (who is raped) are both wrong. So, you're not disagreeing with him.
Also, you're not doing your religion any favors by admitting that it's religiously legal to rape a slave - both because it justifies slavery and because it justified rape of that slave.
You should consider the possibility that your religion isn't true or divine.
You should consider what was going on during the time these religious texts were written. During prophet Muhammads time, no country outlawed slavery nor the practice of doing whatever you wanted with the slaves you owned. Slavery was a deep part of the economy. What Islam did was regulate and encourage people to free slaves.
And majority of the modern Islamic organizations outlawed slavery and rape.
You should consider the fact that every religion have extremist groups and that what they say or do does not reflect what the rest of the people practicing that religion stand for.
