To bring up her escaping with Theon as evidence it was unnecessary makes even less sense. It was that very scene that pushed Theon to start to break free of being Reek, and culminated with killing Myranda and helping Sansa escape.

You're right. Theon was so impacted by it, when Sansa asked him put the candle in the tower, he ran to Ramsey.
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.
