You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

I remember being just a kid and hearing this at church. I was shocked then that grown able women were listed as property. (It was pretty clear that those manservants and maidservants weren’t living in that household because they wanted to.) Why any woman would vote for people with this world view to take control is beyond me.
