I guess it would help to some degree, BJJ against an armed opponent is shit though. id imagine some rapists are armed.
You also run the risk of enraging the rapist and making the ordeal worse.
However i think it would be worth having.

Having said all that......im really not sure there is much relevance in learning self defense for anyone in its literal sense. The chances of being attacked in your life are so remote as to not warrant wasting and time preparing for it.
Train because you enjoy it, not to prevent a rape that has a 0.0000001% chance of ever happening.
