I don't see the connection. Does the existence of rape somehow make the female characters less diverse, interesting and strong?

Honestly, if you were determined to find asoiaf problematic the obvious angle would be class, not sex. Most of the POV characters are privileged, and most of the violence and death falls disproportionately on the lowborn and poor. Why doesn't the fanbase care about that?

Because most people, while making token gestures toward class issues ("omg the 1% totally suck!"), neither understand nor care about them. Most people, in fact, would take the chance to be upper class and privileged in a heartbeat, and only care about the middle-class or poor while they are part of that group.
