And no, the 10th commandment isn't about sexual equality but neither does it mandate sexual INequality. That is your reaching interpretation. Ask any priest (assuming you wouldn't just burst into flame in their presence) and they will tell you that the 10th commandment applies to females coveting a neighbors husband as much as males coveting a neighbors wife.

There was no sexual equality in the OT, women were property of the father or husband. A male could have as many wives, concubines and slave women as he wanted and have sex with them all. Women suffered numeroius laws to keep them inferior and in place.
