Warning: Spoilers
I'm partway through book 11 at the moment, and I've begun to realize something.
Now, we learned that the seal of the Dark One's prison was flawed, because it was made purely by Saidin, with no Saidar being used. Now, at one point Lews Therin rants that women refused to help him seal the Dark One, leaving only him and the hundred companions. Why they refused hasn't been given (if it is revealed, I'm not up to that part yet).
Also, I remember at one point shortly after Rand went to Ruidhan (forgive my spelling), that it was a female Aes Sedai that accidently opened the bore and released the Dark One in the first place.
Does anyone else see the hypocrisy when men are condemmed for the actions of insane men in the past, when the actions (and lack of action) of sane women led up to that disaster?
I'm curious what others have to say on this.
