I still think quite a few opportunities were missed in this series with that whole idea that "One woman may come with the invisible support and strength of any female channeler in the vicinity, while men must always be present to show their power."
Also, many opportunities were lost by the way that Elayne, Egwene and Nynaeve were effectively not near him for most of the books and by their overall ulterior motives. Egwene told Elayne not to reveal that they had studied the Old Tongue in the Tower and that Elayne might be able to decipher it - I understand why, but there is a lot of time wasted on describing the room, and the characters don't ever seem to actually talk and share viewpoints. Miscommunication is one thing but being in a room with friends and having the "friends" display more solidarity with some random women from some random country is another.

"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."
Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger?

yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier!

I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand.

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle.

If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender.

Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM*
