In every version of this scene the women where just part of the “lot”, which also included “booty” (like gold plates, paintings, trinkets, etc.). The auctioneer in the scene considers himself a trader, who has his pirates raid Spanish settlements across the Caribbean to then sell it off on either the island where the ride takes place, or on his trade-routes to Peru. He does not accept anything other than hard currency as payment. When one of the pirates offers several bottles of Rum for one of the women, he refuses and tells the pirate he is only interested in gold coin.
The removal of the women as part of the lot changes very little to the overall scene of a pirate trader selling off what he has taken from his raids. In fact, the removal of the horridly mysoginistic elements from this scene puts it more in line with what the rest of the ride is: a swashbuckle-style kids-ride in a Disney park.
