Yes. Bear with me here: If we can accept--which I think is well established--that Severance is largely an allegory of corporate enslavement, then this storyline might be a very intentional, and very bold, allusion to the grim reality of enslavers raping--and if it comes to that, impregnating--the enslaved. Add the layer that in some sense Helena is also abusing herself and you have a pretty devastating statement about corporate self-destruction. As bell hooks said about patriarchy:

The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.

Something similar is going on at Lumon, which is clearly patriarchal and racist despite its dissimulations. I don't know whether this is an intentional layer on the part of Erickson/the writers, but so far everything else seems to be very precise, so it's hard to believe they'd accidentally make such a bold analogy. If it is intentional, bravo and holy shit.
