It is simply easier for saidar or saidin to accomplish certain effects because of how they work, regardless of individual strength. Saidin may be able to raise someone higher with Air, while saidar may be able to support weight over a greater distance. We see the same with absorbing heat into your body - a male channeler can do this, but a female channeler can not, despite how strong she is.

I don't know. Elayne knows how strong a woman needs to be in order to activate the Bowl. darius_sedai - 31/05/2010 07:51:08 PM 767 Views
Egwene plus Aviendha roughly equal Lanfaer. And yet Lanfear isn't close to double Nynaeve's strength Shannow - 31/05/2010 09:07:06 PM 902 Views
Egwene and Aviendha combined in TFoH (when Avi had been channeling for only a few months) darius_sedai - 31/05/2010 09:22:17 PM 829 Views
We've done this so many times. Even I have lost the strength for it. What can I still muster... Shannow - 31/05/2010 09:38:24 PM 717 Views
again with the interpretive quoting darius_sedai - 31/05/2010 11:05:58 PM 749 Views
Individual interpretation is all we've got really Sidious - 01/06/2010 06:32:05 PM 692 Views
agreed, sort of darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 12:57:00 PM 708 Views
Consider this... Shannow - 04/06/2010 01:21:43 PM 675 Views
You continue to translate things. That is NOT how the quote reads darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 01:30:43 PM 458 Views
Not my fault if the books prove you wrong Shannow - 04/06/2010 01:41:00 PM 590 Views
I'm denying that you have a clue darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 01:51:14 PM 641 Views
Bonfire next to a candle. I rest my case. Shannow - 04/06/2010 01:53:59 PM 507 Views
then Nynaeve is the Creator darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 02:03:27 PM 626 Views
Estimating potential is exact, fragmentary historical notes are not. And RJ disproves your point.. Shannow - 04/06/2010 02:57:32 PM 732 Views
The books disagree with this darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 03:24:46 PM 561 Views
Right, NOW we're getting somewhere... Shannow - 04/06/2010 03:57:32 PM 682 Views
You are hilarious darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 04:06:37 PM 471 Views
Close the door on your way out... Shannow - 04/06/2010 04:21:11 PM 503 Views
no I just refuse to bother with a jackass who doesn't know the text well enough to debate *NM* darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 10:35:09 PM 296 Views
Re: agreed, sort of Sidious - 04/06/2010 04:46:59 PM 1366 Views
Reminds me of some of our ancient debates... Shannow - 04/06/2010 05:03:05 PM 598 Views
this doesn't square in any way with Bell Curve though darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 10:33:04 PM 743 Views
Re: this doesn't square in any way with Bell Curve though Sidious - 04/06/2010 10:56:01 PM 620 Views
It's all good, I do respect your thoughts on this BTW darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 11:28:45 PM 578 Views
No, Rand was not stronger than the male Forsaken at the start of tSR... Shannow - 01/06/2010 09:27:47 AM 647 Views
Aginor burned out attempting to use the Eye, which Rand managed to do without burning out *NM* darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 12:06:01 PM 334 Views
The Eye was just a source of the Power - like a well, just bigger. Shannow - 01/06/2010 12:17:29 PM 635 Views
nope darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 12:52:46 PM 642 Views
You know that is not correct... Shannow - 01/06/2010 01:30:35 PM 684 Views
right or wrong it's in the text! darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 01:47:35 PM 748 Views
Re: I don't know. Elayne knows how strong a woman needs to be in order to activate the Bowl. DomA - 01/06/2010 02:18:38 AM 727 Views
I'm not trying to say that Nynaeve isn't significantly stronger darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 12:44:20 PM 780 Views
If 3 sisters can hold you, it probaly means you are as strong as 4 sisters... Shannow - 01/06/2010 06:37:01 PM 523 Views

Sidenote: What's with Elayne dumping people into the river? beetnemesis - 31/05/2010 06:22:26 PM 576 Views
Not Elayne, Egwene in Cairhien. She went to meet the Windfinder and got kicked out. Wasn't awesome *NM* Lordling - 31/05/2010 07:13:25 PM 407 Views

Remember gatways Kieran - 31/05/2010 09:15:31 PM 567 Views
I agree that it's probably some kind of max height you can lift an object darius_sedai - 31/05/2010 09:25:25 PM 560 Views
I think lifting people on flows of air is much like weaving bridges. FanEditor10 - 01/06/2010 07:42:59 AM 708 Views
I think you are correct actually. darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 12:53:21 PM 747 Views
Yes. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/06/2010 08:43:33 PM 503 Views
My own thougth was off base! darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 12:54:19 PM 577 Views
I'm pretty convinced that 'strength' really refers to your skill and experience. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/06/2010 08:35:16 PM 679 Views
Strength is a touchy word in this case... FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 07:31:19 AM 649 Views
Re: Strength is a touchy word in this case... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/06/2010 04:52:33 PM 472 Views
