IMHO the 'attempted rape' claim is far more interpretation than substance - an interpretation that is specious at best.

I'll admit that I'd missed that part when I first read the post, I only noticed it after I went through the comments section

While almost everyone who commented interpreted it that way, I think it's also worth pointing out that at least one person in the comments thread missed the metaphor completely.
