Especially since I'm actually disturbed by some of the ideas present in this story regarding the inherent lack of balance when you say one sex has a capability that the other sex doesn't have. In the grand scheme of things, the physical strength of human beings is so minimal compared to other animals that it doesn't mean as much as our ability to make tools, yet in the WoT world, the situation is more primitive in that there are constant factors that are clearly superior to others despite the "kumbayah" glossing over the actual applications. For a channeler, a case can be made for certain individuals being more of an offensive threat compared to others, while in the real world, giving two people weapons with equivalent amounts of training and the playing field is largely flattened (esp. with no sexism getting in the way of physical and mental development through an over-stressing of gender roles).
Really, I would think that there is more balance in either women or men being able to Restore other individual's channeling capabilities based purely upon the skill of the Healer.

In Egwene's defense, it would be hypocritical of her to bring that up after profiting from it
