Not the crux of the debate... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 21/01/2016 03:37:40 AM

I don't see any issues with how you think the Power flows into channelers. Only that it would affect shileding. We know for a fact that shielding is a matter of concentration (on both ends). So couldn't just as convincing a case be made, using exactly how you visualize things, that men, who need to focus so much on controlling saidin, are a lot more susceptible to shields?

We've only seen the strongest men have no issues shielding women. In fact, even Rand says shielding Shalon takes a considerable amount of the OP. We've seen no weaker men claim any ease in shielding women, and there have been multiple instances where this could have been stated.

Instead, all we have is RJ saying that shielding someone of the opposite sex is harder. He doesn't say men have it easier than women.

You're forgetting the other side, though. - 19/01/2016 08:19:59 PM 1416 Views
yes but it doesn't proactively do this - 19/01/2016 10:06:25 PM 1253 Views
Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM 1192 Views

There's not much to go on since all the shields except Berowyn's are the same - 21/01/2016 09:55:14 PM 1198 Views
That's precisely my point - 21/01/2016 10:09:02 PM 1289 Views
now you are speculating based on a lack of evidence - 21/01/2016 10:39:13 PM 1126 Views
There's actual evidence: - 22/01/2016 06:25:25 AM 1304 Views
