Deane Aryman had nothing to do with the damane system. It was a Seanchan born channeler who made it.

Then came Hawkwing's sons. They naturally had no idea how channeling worked, because even the AS of the Westlands never went out of their way to explain things about the OP to anyone who wasn't an initiate of the WT. So then Deane, in a failed attempt to kiss Luthair's ass, gives him the first damane. This damane was probably a sparker, I would imagine that Deane might not have been aware that women could learn to channel. Luthair probably inherited his father's mistrust and hatred of AS, and the common folk of Seanchan probably feared and hated their AS rulers, so they all were probably more interested in seeing Deane collared than wondering why she could be used on either end of the a'dam.
Perhaps you merely miss-spelled the names, but for a historical footnote like this, it's important that you reference the right person.
"The first a'dam was made by Deain Sedai, a Seanchan woman who wanted to assist Luthair Paendrag Mondwin in his consolidation of the continent by giving him an instrument to control female channelers who opposed him. She was later collared herself by an a'dam, and it is said that her screams "shook the Towers of Midnight".[1] While the exact timing of this event is unclear, it must have occurred in Luthair's lifetime, so sometime in the later days of the Free Years calendar."
"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."
If you were Egwene what changes would you make to the Tower?

Honestly, I would love to burn down the Tower, and bring the Aes Sedai down from their high horse

That's true, but if this system had been set up early on, recruiting would be very high.

Didn't say she'd do it tomorrow. This is about "what would you do" not "what's realistic"

Darius-sedai, I think your plan would ruin the White Tower.
