This came to me because of simple issues: there's still a lot of topics to discuss and, sudden bursts aside, it's reflecting on this board!

I mean, really, would wotmania have been like this? Possibly, but I like to think not. That's the past, anyway.

I don't mean to take away from Sanderson, but this is RJ's series, and our Southern gentleman had a lot to say about male and female characters. I only check about a handful of websites and participate in 2 or 3 boards, but it's a much-mentioned aspect of the series. Surely a lot of them have struck all of us readers from time to time.

So, which bit of gender commentary has stood out the most to you?

My favorite is RJ's sage and incredibly accurate admonition: don't turn down a favor from a woman, especially if it involves a sacrifice on her part. No matter what, whether it seems unnecesaary, onerous, or otherwise, you will be made to regret not accepting it. I find this to be incredibly true.
