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.

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy

But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar

It all depends on how you define "powerful"

So is graendal similar to lanfear then?

Graendal could fight Lanfear and win

Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power

But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM*

Not at all
14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM

But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM*

Apparently only the third time counts *NM*

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

And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much

They correlate on some critical points

But then we are discussing the same thing

I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers

Probably

I only disagree on one point, I think they are all rather equal in potential, incl. Ishamael

I do think Ishamel is special

He's special the same way any individual is special.

Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM*
14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM

Yeah. Though I think its no competition. Graendal has got to be better than a walking tree!
14/09/2009 07:50:09 PM

They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks

Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too.

To me, she is the most lethal.
