We also know thanks to Moghedien that those simple commands (I.e. don't trust men, the DR is scary etc...), must be something the person already basically believes or wants ... "LIVE Liandrin" essentially made it impossible for Liandrin to put herself in a situation where she could kill herself, even though she had effectively been Stilled. For Egwene to be effected by something like this, the seed of the belief would have had to have been there or she would have struggled with the command.
I think the seed(s) were there, for instance Egwene would have had a fear of male channelers, as any resident of the WOTverse would have had considering the breaking of the world.
Often considering men to be 'woolheaded' does not show a lot of trust in males of the world. There is also the situation she is in, namely being surrounded by scheming AS. These factors, I really believe, would make Egwene highly susceptible to a bit of subtle compulsion.
True, but anyone is susceptible to subtle compulsion, and as I said, I think only one of the Forsaken can pull that off.

Except we know Aran'gar was punished in some way for "losing control of her charge"

Yes I know. That's the point we are discussing.

I always thought the headaches were just something Aran'gar did to get close to Egwene

No argument that a subtle compulsion would be necessary

Why bother? She's Egwene, and served the Shadow's end of her own free will
