I still think that an average woman has almost no chance against the average man in channeling, much like in the physical world.
I'm not convinced that channeling can be truly compared or envisioned using physical measures or examples. IE: The average women can construct a longer bridge of Air than any man can, which indicates that this energy force does not necessarily correlate to physical laws.
Thus, IMHO, an average woman and average man are completely equal, which basically shows our difference in opinion.
Who knows... I've always followed Asmodean's dictum that the more women that gather, the more careful a man must be. There just seem to be so many clues around the series about this. In KoD I read about three Kin linking to Travel, and yet I've never read about an Ash'aman who can't Travel once he's reached his strength. As I said previously, the clue with Sashelle tweaked my ears again. Every now and again these little tidbits appear and make men seem stronger.

But the third time's supposed to be lucky. So that won't count either. *NM*
