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 1245 Views
I would say Tear. AliasRY - 19/09/2009 08:08:18 AM 742 Views

What about male-only organizations? Sidious - 19/09/2009 02:00:55 PM 638 Views
Yeah, Aiel warrior societies. Darth_Katie - 19/09/2009 03:44:36 PM 702 Views
Women are probably not up to the functions of the other societies physically. Cannoli - 21/09/2009 06:10:14 AM 524 Views
Hm, you never do see a female Whitecloak. Do they ever talk about why? beetnemesis - 20/09/2009 04:11:30 PM 688 Views
Distrust of women because they hate channelers, IMHO. Seriana Sedai - 21/09/2009 03:47:43 AM 726 Views

Well the Amadicia thing is really just a function of the channeling. The Children are like the Reds Cannoli - 21/09/2009 07:10:16 AM 531 Views
