In the end, I don't actually think the author herself was clear on whether she used the chocolate cake example to illustrate how immodestly clad women tempt men to rape or tempt men to lust. And perhaps that elision is part of the story here, part of the problem with the rhetoric of purity culture. The way the author talks about "how easy it is to break down" and eat the cake when it's staring you in the face is problematic regardless of which way it was intended.http://cdn1.madeinhisimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/544839_473848922686478_529333198_n.jpg
