Respectfully, MJ, I see both of your points here, but I think her title is fine: modesty culture condones — legally speaking — not just the assault and abuse but even the murdering of women. It bars entire societies of women from full participation in public life. Unethically-produced porn has its problems (trafficking being a huge one), but modesty cultures affect much, much larger swaths of society.

The whole business of trying to police women's reproductive choices is an extension of this (i.e., the idea that "virtuous" women are sexless unless married, and that "modesty" is the way to protect oneself from an undesired pregnancy). In fact, I'd say that quite a few of the West's social problems trace back to modesty culture. For example: workplace sexual harassment, or the idea in the USA that mothers can't and shouldn't expect generous parental leave. What both of those issues have in common is the underlying rationale (among conservatives) that "If a woman doesn't want professional, financial, or any kind of troubles, she should just be sexless.").

In all of these regards, modesty culture does seem a mighty-strong candidate for being declared the more far-reaching, insidious, and harmful of the social problems.

Okay, I hope it didn't sound like I was lecturing here, but I get really nerdy about dissecting social problems (M.A. in Sociology). This is all just how I see it, at least. :)
