I'm not saying that we need to make allowances for anything.  I'm just 
saying that you should expect to find that powerful men who have ready 
access to many willing women will often have sex with some of those women.

Some of the things you've written imply that I believe that we are more 
evolutionarily advanced than the people of 2,000 years ago and we 
therefore should have different social norms.  First, I don't think that 
we have evolved much in 2,000 years.  Second, I don't think we have become 
more advanced because of evolution over the past 2,000 years.  Third, I 
don't know how being "more advanced" would imply that we should have 
different social/sexual norms.
