The incontrovertible evidence that women were considered for men's use and pleasure is derived from the instruction given by God that when they have destroyed all the males of tribe, the Israelite men could pick virgins from the tribe (how they were to prove that is not         given), if she were comely, take her home with him and make her his wife (or one of his wives as polygamy was never condemned).

That's the position of women since time immemorial and some aspects still remain in the Adventist church:  Men make all the decisions about what women may and may not do within the culture of the church using the ancient Hebrew practices.
