I just don't think the rape was required, and they could have used something else to achieve those ends. Furthermore it's troubling that a women's rape wasn't about the women at all, but about a man's story arc.

Sansa on the parapet at arrow point: " I know what Ramsay is and what he'll do to me. If I'm going to die, let it happen while there's still some of me left."
She doesn't get to that point if she's simply shuttered away in her room being forced to eat cold Camembert.
