Rushdoony is addressing the Enlightenment impact on women. The Enlightenment held that men were reason and women emotion, therefore women could not be trusted with property. In some cases, women could not get lawful divorces or if they did, lost all property. Because Christians did not address these issues, and change the laws, they left it for the "Women's Rights movement."
The Proverbs 31 woman made a lot of decisions without her husband’s immediate oversight, because his heart trusted in her. He knew he could because she did him good and not evil all the days of her life. ~Regina
In this excerpt from his American History to 1865 CD series, Rushdoony differentiates between the Enlightenment view of women and the Biblical view of women.
