The whole point of the movie is sometimes something amazing can come from horrible, terrible things, and because of that, humanity is worth saving.
Also, it is worth noting that technically none of the "superheroes" in the movie actually have superpowers, except Dr. Manhattan. The rest are just people who play vigilante, but there is nothing powerful or special about them beyond that. They're all sort of like a B-movie star version of Batman.
I also don't recall Silk Spectre nearly being raped by anyone else other than the Comedian.
Don't get me wrong, some of your points are spot on, but I personally disagree with some of the things you are seeing, or reading into.
Autobottrixter really sums the rest of it up. I wouldn't say it's a "girl power" movie or anything like that, but it certainly does spin some interesting things to think about.
