Telling women they should never argue or disagree with their husbands

I agree you should never argue with your husband. I don't know where it's been said you shouldn't disagree with him. I do agree you shouldn't disagree or fight him over petty non-issues, because that just seems nonsensical. RPW does not say that women should be doormats and has stated more than once to bring up an issue IF it is in fact an issue, but I don't think TBP or RPW encourage arguing.

Telling young, impressionable women they should carry all the burden but none of the responsibility of steering their own lives is bad advice.

I am not sure what you mean by this. We often tell women they SHOULD be held responsible for their lives, their actions. They should be fully accountable.

Telling women they are at fault when their husbands lie, cheat, or abuse them and/or their children is bad advice.

It takes two to tango. Sometimes the man could be entirely at fault, but how often is that the case? There are most definitely cases in life where ONE person can be at fault, but I genuinely believe it is far and few between.

Telling women not to seek their own independence, nurture their career skills, or develop personal hobbies their husbands don't approve of is bad advice.

If a career was to begin causing issues within a relationship, I most definitely believe, wholeheartedly, it should take a backseat, but my priories may be different than many people. I value my relationship above all else. If a woman is complaining that their schooling or career is causing issue in their relationship, I will always recommend putting your relationship first. I do not see RPW telling women to not seek their own independence, in fact quite the contrary. We tell woman that they need to be a person outside of their SO, otherwise they will become soul-sucking, leg-hugging dependents and that doesn't bode well for any relationship, RP or not.

Telling women their only goal in life should be to find a 'captain' so they no longer have to make big, scary decisions for themselves is bad advice.

I think it is a relief to have a partner that I know I can always turn to and NEVER second guess his advice. Now, because I am my own person, I am fully capable of making my own decisions, but the big ones - the ones that affect both of us - I will always ask his opinion on the matter.

Telling women to be completely dependent on another person's whims, even if that person is their husband, is bad advice.

Telling women their only real value is to supplement a man's fragile sense of masculinity is bad advice.

I don't understand where these ones are coming from either. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you feel that RPW is an assault to women, but I also think some of it stems from misrepresentation and misunderstanding. I am by no means trying to or expecting to convert or convince you, but I don't see RPW at all from your point of view, which is to be expected. Please correct me if I am wrong in my points, and it is quite possible that we have had some commenters on RPW that may have stated something that I am not in line with!
