The Asha'man are less prejudiced than the Tower. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 21/09/2009 05:48:43 AM

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

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


That is simply a function of their purposes and types. The Asha'man and Warrior societies have their female counterpart organizations. The Children are soldiers, which women are not in the wetlands. The Children & Aiel societies are gender-exclusive because of cultural attitudes, NOT any particular mindset of the group.

At least the Asha'man have no problem with women in their initiates' lives.

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 1595 Views

Women are probably not up to the functions of the other societies physically. Cannoli - 21/09/2009 06:10:14 AM 831 Views
Hm, you never do see a female Whitecloak. Do they ever talk about why? beetnemesis - 20/09/2009 04:11:30 PM 984 Views
Distrust of women because they hate channelers, IMHO. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 03:47:43 AM 1016 Views
