There is natural authority, through nature.

Then there is supernatural authority. Which comes from the Church, and through the sacraments.

But the Sacraments have the true faith as their end. 

Therefore a man who goes against that true end, undermines his supernatural authority.

Apostasy, as well as adultery is one of the few things which justifies separation.

Which means not only could a wife disobey her husband who refuses the resistance position, she could possible be justified in separating from him. As also a husband could shun his wife for the same.

Where did you get this teaching?

St. Thomas Aquinas said that Eve bored the greater sin, because not only did she disobey God, she scandalized another person.
I think AnthonyPadua is referring to the Council of Trent's teaching that original sin is transmitted through Adam, not necessarily referring to who had the greater fault.

Also, St. Thomas says this concerning original sin (Summa, II-I, Question 83, Article 1):

I answer that, One thing can be in another in two ways. First, as in its cause, either principal, or instrumental; secondly, as in its subject. Accordingly the original sin of all men was in Adam indeed, as in its principal cause, according to the words of the Apostle (Romans 5:12): "In whom all have sinned": whereas it is in the bodily semen, as in its instrumental cause, since it is by the active power of the semen that original sin together with human nature is transmitted to the child. But original sin can nowise be in the flesh as its subject, but only in the soul.

It is interesting to note though, that the evil of women has been the downfall of many great men, as we can see in the Old Testament particularly.
