Men can't feel the ability in others unless they are holding the power.
Yeah, men can sense nothing unless the man decides to hold saidin.
As for Cyndane, I think she's got a true strength reduction, much like Siuan and Leane. I don't think any tied off shield could hold Lanfear. She mocks Asmodean about it, implying that she has a shield-breaking Talent, and even Aginor claims that he can break any shield with time.
My two theories on Cyndane are that she either has a body that can't support her strength in the Power, or that she was Healed by the Black Ajah. Both theories have serious flaws, but I don't think there's anything better out there.

Did the Finns take Moiraine and Lanfear's strength in the OP and swap them?

Post some Cyndane quotes. I thought she was still far more powerful than Mo
