Allow me to rephrase this question for clarity's sake:
How much do you think a man who treats women like objects will understand a God who personally endorsed the idea that women were objects, to be owned, bought, sold or traded, by their husbands and fathers?
God doesn't endorse any of that. Read Proverbs 31 or the epistles about submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
You are condensing a very complicated and somewhat contradictory serious of teachings that span from war to peace and different historical periods into a single statement.
God is always for women, not everything that God permits is necessarily agreeable to modern culture, that does not give people an accuse to not try to understand it in the cultural context it is in (e.g. if God did not permit the taking of concubines, the women would have just been killed).
