Rand seems to shield Egwene and Elayne TOGETHER, pretty easily...

I've adjusted my list every time he's said something.
Your theory has enormous holes in it, but you didn't address them in the other post, or any of these posts. You got angry and stormed off.
If a woman sits at 50, then why does it take six to hold a man like Rand, and how can he break through 4. Are we to believe that a 100 man can break through a 200 shield? This system is utter crap if that's true, because no text supports it.
Of course the text supports it! It is tougher for one of the sexes to shield the other. How much clearer can it get?
And what huge holes have I failed to explain?
So an untrained Rand, is able to SIMULTANEOUSLY shield Egwene and Elayne, who are both of the opposite sex, with little trouble, and this at a time when Egwene, by her own confession, is already MUCH stronger than Moiraine.
So if Egwene is around 60 at that time, and Elayne is around 30, how can Rand, who cannot even grasp saidin at will at that point in time, and is well below his full potential, shield them with such ease and still weave a dozen more flows at the same time?
Remember, it is MORE difficult to shield someone of the opposite sex. Let alone two females at the same time. And one of those females is ALREADY much stronger than the average woman, according to your theory, while the other is at least as strong as the average woman. So together, they are already stronger than Lanfear at that point in time. Yet Rand, who is still weaker than Lanfear at that point in his development, is able to shield them both and spin a dozen other weaves as well.

How can Egwene be strong enough to overcome Katerine and Silviana together then?

She cannot be because she isn't. Silviana can shield Egwene alone, for God's sake. So can Amys!
