So, let me get this straight... "Killing people in the most horrifying way possible (Mountain vs Oberyn, anyone?, Red wedding) is ok... but raping?! Oh, hell no!!" Is that it?
Why is our society so permissive with depicting crude violence that kills and maims, but is so prudish with depictions of violence towards women's present-day liberties?
I think it makes sense within the psychology of the show.
It's reminiscent of the Middle ages in Europe where a patriarchy is fully instated. Even so, the show has way too many women in places of power: Cersei, Danny, Olena.
