The point of a parable is not to de-bias a heated political topic and then draw direct conclusions about the original topic. It is an attempt to extract one or two key ideas that tend to get muddied up by contentious object level issues. It is essentially an extended analogy.
If someone makes an argument of the form "If A is X, then Y", then a parable is an attempt to extract this idea form the political arena and then test in on new inputs. "B is X, but is it Y?".
It is not an attempt to get rid of the finer details of an issue, but rather to figure out what those details are, and which details are irrelevant.

Given how it portrays women as an undifferentiated passive object with no preferences or any input into the process, I'd say this attempt failed.
