The same way as Tourette Syndrome doesn't describe all the works of the physican Gilles de la Tourette, but rather a single syndrome that he determined, and which is named after him: Wotism doesn't describe the women of WoT, it describes a
general tendency of modern Fantasy to practice a rather strange (and potentially counter-productive of gender equality) male-female differentiation. Which I first recognized in WoT (thus named), so that I could later recognize it in stuff like
Pawn of Prophecy.
As for the forum name... oh well, seems we'll have to compete for the term.
