In those times, I don't think women were considered all that important as people.

More so in some cultures, less so in others.

But I do think that the moral strictures of God applied to them as well.

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.

Lots of things were permitted by God in OT times that He disapproves of. Divorce, polygamy, etc.

The question of whether something was specifically addressed rahter than being able to be reasonably inferred from the context, and from the whole text of the Bible, is a separate question.

Now, maybe you are addressing a separate question, but to me the question is: Does the Bible disapprove of lesbianism, and my considered opinion is that it does.
