But that point I was making was that Martin is far more deserving of the criticism "The setting is typical fantasy scape" than Jordan.

Sure, Martin's medieval world is more accurate. But the landscape, the political situation... those are far more generic than Jordan's is.

Jordan's world can barely be called medieval. And certainly, few fantasies have attempted to create a female-dominant society, then reflected the consequences of that on the history, politics and status of their world, as well as their plot and characters.

(And before someone says it, I think RJ did overdo this aspect, and the execution was sometimes clumsy. But overall, it is rather well done, and the manner in which he has let this factor permeate everything from the conversation of characters to the customs of the people is impressive.)
