We can all laugh away the proposition as not being serious, but there are some heavy S&M undertones in the Seanchan storylines, and a level of female domination in the whole series, so I really don't find it at all far-fetched to chalk up the decision to a bit of fantasizing on Jordan's part.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I actually like Aviendha, but I also think her role could be combined or minimized

There are Elaines in Arthurian legends, yeah, but they're involved with Lancelot more than Arthur.

You're right that Moiraine, Nynaeve and Cadsuane would make a better fit.

I think you need another edit to clean up the double-post-within-a-post a bit.
