i don't think tolkien was really saying what a woman shouldn't be or should be. i think it was that aredhel was the different one.the one who stood out;an independent woman with a free spirit and a mind of her own.and i don't think it was her fault that gondolin fell.she was a victim of fate. i don't think she woke up one morning and said,"i think i'll leave gondolin,get lost in a dark forest,be half forced to marry a dark elf,and have an evil child who will eventually bring doom and destrution on my brother's people".and if she did she's on my most hated list too.
