I have defended Sanderson in the past because I don't think Robert Jordan was an incredibly great writer, style-wise, and because stepping into his shoes to finish a series is hard. He can't be expected to always get the tone right for every character, etc.
However, you are absolutely correct in your criticism. That was just awful writing.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

You... Seem to be forgetting at least half the scenes that take place in the ways.

Maybe the Dreamer crew could mess with the Talisman in the Ebou Dar cache to make new untainted Ways
