Ok first off I did not get the impression on first reading that she was raped. This is why.
Quote TOM pg 830
She looked up, feeling a surge of hope. Those dead lips were smiling widely, that eyeless gaze fixed on her. She felt a horrible sinking feeling.
"No," Shaidar Haran said, "I shall not forget you, and you shall not forget that which comes next."
She opened her eyes wide, then howled as he reached for her. End Quote
This implies something terrible was done to her. Not that she was raped. I mean this passage is to allow the reader to fill in the blank. I took it that she was to be mind trapped or maybe tortured and killed the final death. Of course she may be alive still because of the open endedness of this passage. She "might" have been raped as well. I think its a little tough to say that she was "definitely" raped by SH. There are numerous things that he could have been refering too when he said she would not forget what happens next.

Really? I'd say that is the ultimate way to punish her as it takes away her sexual Power

I would have liked it if she were sent into a vacuole where time had no meaning.

If you're right, the series is saying that sexism is evil. I don't see a problem with that. *NM*
