Sorry, but I can't agree.

At the very end of the song, the woman turns into a mule, and brays.

There is far from honorable, respectable, whatever.  In fact, it makes
her look pretty silly.  She's standing there, screaming "hee-haw" at
the male character.

Please explain to me why KaTe would make a fool out of a rape victim.  
Please explain to me how she could be so callous, so insulting.

I stick by my earlier interpretation.
