Yes to all of this.

I was actually shocked by how egregious the ravishment/rape scene was. Usually with ravishment scenes (which this seems to have been meant to be), the man's physical demeanor is depicted as more impassioned than full on aggressive (which IRL is not a particularly valid distinction, but in fiction can be pretty valid I think). And usually the woman's body language and expression in the scene are orchestrated to imply desire (again, not a valid defense IRL, but can be valid when interpreting fiction). Yet in Blade Runner, everything about the scene felt rapey; there was basically nothing that implied consent. Deckard seemed angry and physically threatening, and Rachael seemed very frightened and sad. Add to that the bit where she's utterly disenfranchised, running for her life, and knows that he could easily change his mind about killing her, and it's just like, HAHAHA NOPE FUCK THIS.
