Hey Nick. One question I would have is: did Lot offer his daughters because he considered them inferior, or was this more evidence of his weakness as a man and father and of his appeasement as we have seen him gradually do towards Sodom in the chapters proceeding?
This article is a reminder to us of how depraved the world is and that any appeasement toward it ends in chaos and destruction.
What's up, Jason!? I believe it's a picture of both. They were considered inferior, but the story also reveals that Lot is committing a grave sin by offering them because they were engaged. The story of Sodom hyperlinks to Genesis 6, the flood, and the tower of Babel. It's the epitome of depravity and Lot is an example of embracing it's "culture."
