Yeah, but that scene when *spoiler* the black guy whose name I can't remember dies and then the alien kills the woman with its tail by presumably going up through her torso was so much a rape scene. Even that part where Ripley is going down the corridor with the woman screaming over the intercom for way too ****ing long to not make you feel uncomfortable was def supposed to feel like a rape scene. So physical violation was very much a theme of that movie even beyond just the facehugger.
