it's not specific, but I think it's kind of implied, especially after Jesus and the NT.

You have to remember that the Bible was written by men, inspired by God, but in specific cultural milieus. In those times, I don't think women were considered all that important as people. But I do think that the moral strictures of God applied to them as well.

More so in some cultures, less so in others.

Sure. And The Law explicitly forbids women having sexual relations with animals. Doesn't mention women having relations with women.

Maybe it just wasn't a problem.

Drunk driving (a chariot, for example) isn't mentioned, either.
