Hm, you never do see a female Whitecloak. Do they ever talk about why? beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 20/09/2009 04:11:30 PM

1. Whitecloaks
2. Ash'aman
3. Stone dogs?

That's pretty pro-masculine if you ask me.



They don't seem misogynistic. Could it just be a strength-of-arms thing? Barring the Aiel (who are all super deadly tough-as-nails folk), and the women of Two Rivers in tSR for some weird reason, most non-channeling women in WoT aren't very soldier-like.

It could just be that we only see Whitecloak soldiers, and 99.9% of soldiers in this setting are men. The few women who do want to kill stuff with sharp objects have become hunters for the Horn, or Elayne's bodyguards, or knife experts.



I amuse myself.

What do you consider to be the most pro-masculine culture/country in WoT? The most anti-female? Cannoli - 19/09/2009 07:32:03 AM 1624 Views
I would say Tear. AliasRY - 19/09/2009 08:08:18 AM 1074 Views

Distrust of women because they hate channelers, IMHO. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 03:47:43 AM 1055 Views

I think the Shienaran custom of protecting women is both patronizing and submissive ATST. *NM* AgentOrange - 21/09/2009 02:33:58 PM 854 Views
