Awarded the princess, that is some very disconcerting and objectifying wording

Women used to be considered chattel.

Are you suggesting we rewrite the bible? Surely god would be PC if he wanted to be.

Now you're putting words in my mouth Jack

I'm just surprised that you've apparently only just learnt that historically, daughters were used as bargaining chips by their fathers and wives seen as property of their husbands.

It's only really over the last hundred years or so that women have been on the path to equality. There are still many places in the world where women are very far from being considered equal to a man.

King David is estimated to have lived about three thousand years ago, so stories about him would be very unlikely to include equality or political correctness that are by comparison extremely modern ideas.

I didn't learn that recently, you're putting words in my mouth

Dude I'm sure you're very smart. You don't have to prove it to random women that you deem to have inferior female minds.

She was clearly criticizing the bible for its misogyny, not advocating we rewrite it. You even had a good chance to reread and realize this from the reply to your original comment. Surely a man as clever and well-read as you could see this!
