I hope so, as well. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 05:31:36 PM
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.

You've got an irritating manner about you. No wonder you find Aes Sedai so believable. - 10/05/2010 05:53:00 PM 963 Views

I think you're looking at it the wrong way. - 12/05/2010 06:32:00 AM 1014 Views
Both wonderful characters... - 10/05/2010 12:49:44 AM 930 Views

I get what you are saying, but the quote is from much earlier - 14/05/2010 03:14:17 PM 837 Views
I totally unagree... - 17/05/2010 11:16:50 AM 1309 Views
I like Leane, and respected Siuan until RJ mauled her character - 10/05/2010 05:55:08 PM 984 Views
She was probably the sacrificial lamb in place of Moiraine - 10/05/2010 06:25:39 PM 945 Views
The deck was certainly stacked against Siuan from the very beginning - 11/05/2010 02:44:05 PM 1003 Views
This is a main reason I hope Siuan and Leanne get their full strength restored - 11/05/2010 02:25:31 PM 1033 Views
I don't really agree - 11/05/2010 05:35:44 PM 974 Views

I'm still annoyed that Siuan is not going to face the consequences of lying about the Reds. - 12/05/2010 05:18:47 AM 1029 Views
In Egwene's defense, it would be hypocritical of her to bring that up after profiting from it - 12/05/2010 05:59:57 AM 1021 Views
Oh, I never expected Egwene to do something about this. - 12/05/2010 06:12:35 AM 902 Views
Well she's off forging a relationship with the Asha'man - you know, useful stuff? *NM* - 12/05/2010 06:39:04 AM 597 Views
Are you claiming that Pevara was the only woman in the entire Red Ajah to be offended by that lie? *NM* - 12/05/2010 07:15:40 AM 540 Views

Really do you have a quote supporting the fact that there has never been a FD supported by a Red? - 18/05/2010 09:39:31 PM 1022 Views
Of course..., I'll provide it as soon as you prove you're not a Nazi serial child rapist. - 18/05/2010 10:06:23 PM 842 Views

That doesn't make sense. - 13/05/2010 10:54:53 PM 1052 Views
it was about more than just male channelers - 18/05/2010 09:50:14 PM 1075 Views
Yes, that's true. - 18/05/2010 10:07:22 PM 1052 Views
I'm also certain the majority of the Red had no clue/involvement - 20/05/2010 10:24:54 PM 947 Views
That's also true. - 20/05/2010 10:29:11 PM 933 Views
