  1. maybe there is no “wrong” way to interpret the text
  2. maybe your view of the response as only immediate is too limiting
  3. just playing devil’s advocate here since you made some pretty big assumptions

maybe there is no “wrong” way to interpret the text

If the intended interpretation of a text is “respect women” and you instead interpret the text as “you can own women”, then you have interpreted the text incorrectly.

but there is no way to know what the “intended” interpretation is. and often interpretations beyond the original creator’s intent are still valuable and valid

I agree. There is definitely cases where it is impossible to know, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t wrong ways to interpret something.

You can be wrong without it being possible to know.
