In the film Clark Gable actually did rape her.
Pretty repugnant statement on your part, however.

In the book. The movie, not so much.

Really? What do you think he was dragging her kicking and screaming up the stairs for, anyway? Checkers?

Any intended effect on her?

You could see her happy about the whole thing the next morning so it's clearly implied it was mutual though it didn't start that way.

If he "raped" her, why was she singing & smiling in bed the next morning.

Instead of caving into the current "rape culture" trope, try watch that whole scene again, or reading Margaret Mitchell's book. You'll see there was no rape.

Hmmm.. By that metric, my wife has raped me. I'm not sure how I should feel about this.
