These are smart, rich, and powerful men, yet some how they are "snookered" in to the short end of the stick?
Seems unlikely.

This is the bargain they've made. It's a rather simple exchange. "Parasitic" is a loaded term here, by applying it you're displaying that you have some sort of political axe to grind.
This was also the sentiment being expressed above, when someone said that what you said sounded "judgmental" -- an accusation that you dismissed by being, or pretending to be, oblivious to it's true intent: "you're attaching pejorative terms to these women, without enough information to make a fair case for it."
It's an obviously imbalanced exchange. We don't take intestinal worms out of the parasites category just because they help us prevent autoimmune diseases.

No, I'm just trying to be objective. If I wanted to insult them I could have called them prostitutes with a single, long-term client.
Sorry for whatever experiences you've had that led to this.
