Rights are what you make up to argue for a greater authority than that of god-kings. They're not real in any material sense.
Look for the material basis of the conflict.
Here, the material basis of the conflict is "Can you own people? Overtly, formally, with the full blessing of the law?"
The most essential step to owning women is stripping citizenship. Need to take away the vote to do that, and it's pretty obvious that women's votes are especially problematic for the dominionist goals.
(Note that the "of course you own your women" position has widespread support.)
