I have never known a women who the books to be in that number, it's a subset of men who think they are bossy and mean to Rand. They also hate Faile for being mena to Perrin. Jordan had a preference for, um, shall we say...strong...women, and some people coming for the power fantasy don't feel comfortable with it.Personally, I think it is interesting that Eye of the World was Bechdel Compliant when that was far from a mainstream measurement in 1990.What the less toxic people do have a problem with, and rightly so in my book, is Rand's love life, which is bizarre and an attempt by Jordan to put his reading of Robert Graves Mother-Maiden-Crone topology from "The White Goddess" into action as an Arthurian-Messiah thing.</blockquote>
