Line 17:
In a setting where [[Sex Is Evil]], this character will exemplify the evils of sexuality. If he makes a [[Heel Face Turn]] and become [[Jack Chick|Good]], he is likely to forgive his victims for tempting him. In a setting where sex is ''not'' evil, the character is likely to be contrasted with a [[Chivalrous Pervert]], [[Good Bad Girl]], or fully operational [[Ethical Slut]].
A character with this mindset is likely to think that at least some men [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|are incapable of controlling their sexual urges]], so women should [[The Unfair Sex|expect them to do sexual harassment or worse]] and be [[Crazy Prepared]] in various ways. Including trying to second-guess what these men might find attractive - and then try her best to ''not'' look attractive, lest these men might get their urges. Of course, since each individual man has his individual preferences (and also since the whole "oh no, I got aroused" thing is just an excuse anyway), even wearing a Burqua would not be a safe in this regard. And yet, some particularly unsympathetic or [[Troubled Sympathetic Bigot|tragic]] character may take this attitude one step further, demanding the [[Doublethink]] that we should all consider men to be some kind of monsters while still consider them to be the superior gender - morally and otherwise. This is done by blaming women for (by their appearance or mere existence) "tempting" men, making any [[Rape Tropes|sex-crimes]] against them their own fault. Naturally, many works portray this attitude as [[No Womans Land|barbaric misogyny]]. With or without any such aspects of ideology or social structure, a character of either gender may use another character's attractiveness or way of dressing as a [[Lame Excuse]] to misbehave and then claim [[Never My Fault]].
While this trope is traditionally male, these days it's far from [[Always Male]]. However, it's often played out in the way that a male character with this trope is destructive and abusive, while a woman with the same underlying mindset is self-destructive.

* One book for ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'' features a town where a mage with strong ideas on wholesomeness and youth morality created a working that would keep teenagers away from sex, ''especially'' "aberrant" forms of sex such as homosexuality or kink. The good news is, it's worked, as most of the youth have sublimated their sexual desires into other hobbies. The ''bad'' news is, [[Politically
** For [[Black Comedy]]: The mage, [[Did Not Do the Research|not being a great titan in social studies]], centered the enchantment around a statue of the high school's namesake? It's name? '''''[[Dirty Old Man|Benjamin]] [[Kavorka Man|Franklin]] [[Benjamin Franklin|High]].'''''
* The ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' book ''Posessed'' features an old man who spent many years standing with bible in hand at the collage gates, berating female students for their skimpy clothing. Turns out that his true motivation was that he enjoyed staring at beautiful young women and comment their bodies and clothing. The whole moral superiority thing was merely an excuse that he used to trick everyone (surely including himself) that his behavior was acceptable.
