I think the context in The Fantasticks certainly makes it less offensive. The context, after all, is basically that El Gallo isn't actually talking about rape; he just enjoys making the girl's father uncomfortable by using the word "rape" a lot.
Incidentally, I've had "I'm an Indian Too" from Annie Get Your Gun stuck in my head all day, and I suspect it's your fault.
