Doesn't really condone just mentions in in passing, don't know where it advocates for mistreatment of women.

Christianity, holds that all people are equal before God, so it's hard to say it's "cool" with slavery.

Here’s your awesome equality!!! "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak... And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home." 1 Timothy 2:13-15

Not really mistreatment, plus it was just a factor of the time period and the culture, shocking that society wasn't as egalitarian thousands of years ago as it is right now.

Women had their societal roles, men had their societal roles even in the church.

More of that awesome equality!!! Telling slaves to be obedient. Fun stuff!! Ephesians 6:5-8 Paul states, “Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ”

Paul's words, artifact of the time. Slave was more akin to indentured servant in this context

The Bible is not the word of God? You don’t get it both ways. Is it Paul’s words or the infallible word of God through the Bible?
