Fallen human nature is continually focused on evil as the references in this post reflect. Lot was simply living out the culture that devalued women. This was exceedingly sad, yet none the less very common, and not considered unusual in that context.

A father offering his daughter to be raped or killed was common? That women were certainly looked at as second-class people, they were nevertheless regarded in their homes. Reference how Debra's brothers defended her honor.

There were multiple sins going on here, including incest (lot's daughter slept with him and bare him children - Moab and Ammon).

If there were ever an example of Grace having some dimension of election, this is it. Lot is spared despite his falling short. Yes, God is faithful.
