(i.e. if you want to read Exodus as the putting down of women, what do you do with Deuteronomy? It’s an argument from redaction.) The argument is that by preventing that reading, the status of women is protected and thus shows God’s love for women.

I have one question, I think it was from your 2nd talk: how does Moses’ ‘reordering’ of the list of things not to covert in Deuteronomy (as compared to Exodus) imply a valuing of women? If the first list doesn’t imply status-ranking with a house coming before a wife, then why is this any different for the second?
