It IS possible to have a woman naked, threatened, and not have the scene be exploitative.
It is possible for a clothed man to threaten a naked woman and for the scene to not cry "RAPE!".
It is possible to show a woman in a vulnerable situation without turning her into a crying, shivering and useless weakling.
It is possible for a female character to be both vulnerale and strong at the same time.
It is possible for a woman to appear strong in a sexual situation.
It is possible for a man to assault a woman without me fearing rape or sexual assault.
It is possible for a violent scene to be sexy and dangerous and still show women positively.
It is possible for nudity, threats, power play and vulnerability to co-exist in a scene with both men and women in without sexism, or misogyny.
That right there is an example of getting it right. Jessica is still damn sexy in this scene, but she loses none of her powerful. She comes off as powerful, dangerous and in control even whilst being assaulted naked in her shower. Wolverine comes off as dangerous and powerful and good at this sort of thing, without being a pervert or a rapist.
This is an example of getting it right.
And no, I don't mean "follow this to the letter or else". I mean, look at what makes this scene powerful and active and exciting and look at what makes other, similar, scenes look exploitative and rape-y. Then take the best bits of this scene, cut out the worst bits of rape-y scenes, and maybe use these concepts as a basis from which to build future scenes.
And you know what? This is important, too.
I like Wolverine. He's bad, he's tough, he's mean and he's a rough-around-the-edges hard-bodied bear of a man. ANd damn if that isn't sexy. But if this scene had been rape-y? Suddenly Wolverine becomes a rapist, or just someone who sexually assaults women. Suddenly he isn't so sexy any more. And suddenly, I don't want to read about this character any more.
So.
Here is kudos for taking a difficult scene and doing a bloody good job with it.
More, please!

I am thinking they set the scene in the shower to show her as (potentially) vulnerable, since that's one place people tend to let down their guard. One does not expect Wolverine to come barging into the shower. As far as the dialogue goes, they could have had the same scene set in her kitchen, her car, the laundry room, the elevator... but having it in the shower and have her not freak out in the least subtly sends the message that she's in control. Nicely done.
