[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1720721, member: 12744"] Understandable, though with Aes Sedai that is kind of the point. And that is wrong because...? :D [size=1]you're obviously not married, are you? (:D again, just kidding)[/size] Well, IMO I think it's because, for those books, you are taking their attitude out of context a little. It's predominantly the Aes Sedai who maintain a very haughty and superior attitude, and in that world many of them have very good reason to in their minds (thier position in a predominantly male-dominated society, working with rulers and military men they find resorting to bluster and violence before exhausting diplomacy, having to deal with their sorcerous counterparts in the manner they do, etc). Some of the other female characters, while being strong and independent and often frustrated by the men, are a good bit different. But I do understand your reaction. I always felt too that he is trying to slowly show how divisiveness between the sexes is at the heart of the problem in fighting the Shadow, and all that, so there may be more background to the Aes Sedai attitude than just 'powerful women in his books are way too catty'.
