Being raped wasn't likely to further your genes' goals in the ancestral environment, because it decreases your chances to reproduce consensually with a better mate and maybe have him provide resources for the kids.

You're ignoring spousal rape, where a better mate is already only going to be had through the spouse's death or hazardous subterfuge, and resource support for the kids can indeed be expected.
