Eh, I think the OP makes a really solid point here, but there is a reason people bring up the realism factor: ASOIAF is supposed to be very much a Watchmen-style "okay what if this medieval fantasy shit actually did happen?" deconstructive story, and specifically takes a lot of influence from pre-Renaissance England and the War of the Roses. I do think that to remove some of the grimmer but more realistic depictions -- not only rape but like the descriptions of people starving and covered in shit and so on -- would basically turn it into exactly the sort of fantasy series GRRM is subverting.

Not to say I think he couldn't do a lot better with those issues, because I do, and like I said I think the OP has a really strong criticism here. But I think it's kind of missing the point to be like LOL WHO CARES ABOUT THE REALISM? That's a big part of the setting.
