... is that RJ is as "sexist" with men as he is with women. What you said about women being irrational and men just rolling their eyes and going along is actually how women in the series view men, and less how men handle women.
I'm not stating gender relations in WoT are normal or well-adjusted. Far from it. But nor do I think they're a symptom of RJ being sexist. Instead, I think its a partially successful attempt at describing an unequal society akin to the middle ages, but with the women as the dominating gender.

What;s your favorite RJ comment on the sexes?

You have to make sure your husbands do what you want, while making them think it was their idea.

And I can buy that, which is why I'm surprised at how many claimed they were inaccurate. Seriously,
