...that's not how it works at all.
(Reference to a commercial about an old woman trying to materialize face book)
One way could be showing how absurd their concept is when trying to answer the question, Blondie.

Moses did say daughters could inherit property
Only if there were no male relatives that could inherit and normally whatever a woman had, her husband inherited when he married her...Moses made sure that the property stayed in the women's family which was an exception.

For me "considered a field and proceeded to obtain it" is nearly the same as "own property". You make a difference?
(Proverbs 31:16) She has considered a field and proceeded to obtain it; from the fruitage of her hands she has planted a vineyard.

A Model Homemaker—A Surprising Description
The mother of an ancient king painted a vivid picture of the ideal housewife. This divinely inspired picture even ‘corrected’ the king’s thinking. True, it described this “capable wife” as one who was “watching over the goings on of her household” and who performed much of what some consider “woman’s work,” such as cooking and making clothing. Yet her interests and accomplishments were not limited to the house.—Verses 10, 15, 21, 22, 27.
For instance, she was a careful shopper, bringing her food “from far away.” She sold her homemade items to tradesmen. She even made real-estate transactions and planted a vineyard—no simple tasks! In fact, of the eleven specific tasks she is portrayed as performing, seven are transacted outside her home. Indeed, she was not a woman “chained to a mop and bucket”!—Verses 13, 14, 16, 18, 24.
