What I'm getting at is that modern AS haven't really trained well and therefore tend to approach fights as matters of strength. Certainly an air bridge or a fireball or some actual "effect" won't be affected by this. But in battle we've seen time and again that AS don't really know how to use their own strength very well. Even ignoring that men and saidin seems to be more suited to this in the first place, AS skills are underdeveloped in facing other Channelers, most likely they've not been involved in this type of thing in 2000 years or so. So we see a series of bad choices being made almost every time we've seen AS fight.

Look at the examples we do have of them fighting (even non-channelers)

Dumai's Wells ... Kiruna and company march in there and start hurling fireballs around. We know that most AS do not have particular strength in Fire ... so why haven't they investigated more effective (for Female strengths Air and Water) weaves? Right there they gave up any advantage they may have had to a male channeler. While they are wasting strength and fighting to control less natural weaves, the men are doing the same with far less effort because they have more affinity to Fire.

On the more positive side, Galina and her group seemed to be doing quite well against an overwhelming numbers deficit to the WO by playing a defensive game. Makes me think they stuck with using Spirit to slice weaves and Air to create barriers.

Two Rivers

Alanna and Verin don't do much, but what they do accomplish is much the same as what Kiruna and her group did ... used Earth and Fire, exhausting themselves in the effort to create some catapult BS. Again, not much foresight into using their own strengths ... in there had been males fighting them they would have been crushed.

Winter's night and Moiraine are another example ... she started flinging fireballs around ... why not use weaves of Air to create razor sharp objects to slice off heads or Water to potentially drown them, or like Chesmal figured out using healing to kill ... any number of ways to adapt female strengths to be more effective here.

Battle for the Tower

All you have to do is read the Adelorna POV to know what was wrong there ... how long did it take them to figure out that Linking would be better than fighting little side battles against highly trained battle damane? Imagine how much worse it would have been for them if Taim and the Asha'man had decided to invade?

Cleansing

This was probably the closest thing we've seen to a successful fight for the AS and in the end the only Circles that experienced losses were the ones being led by an AS. Daigian lost Eben largely because she wasn't actively channeling when she came across Aran'gar. Verin tried a somewhat idiotic ploy by trying to Shield Graendal (her being BA makes that choice more clear too), why on earth would you attempt to take one of the FS prisoner in the middle of a battle when you have no idea how strong she might be, if she had somehow managed to grab an angreal or what skills she may possess. Verin could have killed Graendal in any number of ways before Graendal even knew what happened ... she didn't notice the Shield coming at her, that could as easily have been a fireball or a lightning strike or something else 100% fatal.

Meantime Damer fights off Demandred and Alivia manages to keep Cyndane at bay ... certainly not with ease, but no one died.

So basically I'm saying that the men (and some of the non-AS women) are already playing to their own strengths, and the AS are actively playing against their strengths, thus taking away at least part of the Dexterity bonus they receive on their Strength ... hope that is more clear than before.
