Editor: "to one’s advantage"?
It's better to use "someone" rather than "one", since "one" can include "oneself".
With 可乘之机, it seems it's almost always someone else – a villain or rival – rather than oneself that grabs the opportunity.

「這絕不是說受害女性咎由自取,只是遺憾她們給了歹徒可乘之機,」
"It's not that women really blame themselves. It's just that they regret having given the criminal the opportunity."
Diff:
# 可乘之機 可乘之机 [ke3 cheng2 zhi1 ji1] /opportunity that can be exploited to one’s advantage/
+ 可乘之機 可乘之机 [ke3 cheng2 zhi1 ji1] /an opportunity that someone (usually a villain or adversary) can exploit/
