Thank you for enlightening posts, dustinzgirl and Pelagic Argosy. There is, however, another aspect to the gender issue of WoT which I wonder if you would like to consider. Strength and general sexism aside: At large, it seems to me that male characters appear far more sympathetic than females - more likeable as characters. This seems to be pretty categorically.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether this is a matter that can be relatively universally agreed upon, or whether I as a man perhaps am inclined to react more negatively to female than male characters.
