well, youre not wrong
seriously, go rewatch the original, and when the other woman in the movie dies, pay attention to the sounds you hear, and then read what the original intent was for the alien, will totally change how you view it forever

here we go:
Critics have also analyzed Alien's sexual overtones. Adrian Mackinder compares the facehugger's attack on Kane to a male rape and the chestburster scene to a form of violent birth, noting that the Alien's phallic head and method of killing the crew members add to the sexual imagery. Dan O'Bannon has argued that the scene is a metaphor for the male fear of penetration, and that the "oral invasion" of Kane by the facehugger functions as "payback" for the many horror films in which sexually vulnerable women are attacked by male monsters. McIntee claims that "Alien is a rape movie as much as Straw Dogs (1971) or I Spit on Your Grave (1978), or The Accused (1988). On one level it's about an intriguing alien threat. On one level it's about parasitism and disease. And on the level that was most important to the writers and director, it's about sex, and reproduction by non-consensual means. And it's about this happening to a man." He notes how the film plays on men's fear and misunderstanding of pregnancy and childbirth, while also giving women a glimpse into these fears. Film analyst Lina Badley has written that the Alien's design, with strong Freudian sexual undertones, multiple phallic symbols, and overall feminine figure, provides an androgynous image conforming to archetypal mappings and imageries in horror films that often redraw gender lines. O'Bannon himself later described the sexual imagery in Alien as overt and intentional: "One thing that people are all disturbed about is sex... I said 'That's how I'm going to attack the audience; I'm going to attack them sexually. And I'm not going to go after the women in the audience, I'm going to attack the men. I am going to put in every image I can think of to make the men in the audience cross their legs. Homosexual oral rape, birth. The thing lays its eggs down your throat, the whole number.'"

not only was the face hugger designed to convey the act of rape of both men and women, the xenomorph itself is designed to blur the sexual dicotomy (forgive the misspelling) of humans, and the creature itself was actually supposed to be even more sexual in nature, the scene where female #2 dies hints that it legitiately raped her to death, and the scene where ripley is in the escape shuttle was supposed to be different, the alien would've pinned her in the space suit closet (it outside, her inside)(she also was originally supposed to be naked here) and would've just creepily looked her over, visually being aroused by her and touching itself or something like that, id have to dig up the wiki page for the full info
