I'm interested to know if anyone would have considered voting this up if the attempted rape portion of the metaphor had been omitted and the story had been ended just before then?
I can't speak for anyone else, but I thought it was very bad[1] even aside from the attempted-rape bit.
[1] I mean in quality rather than morally, though the attempted-rape part (at least) is horrible morally too.
