I still think, though, that there is a distinction between fantasy per se and fairy tales. Only in the latter is there a truly "happy ending", because it's a highly artificial genre. In the former, there is always a sense of loss to some degree or other, even in the "happiest" of endings. Even Harry Potter had that. The world wasn't made perfect; it was just saved from destruction.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Wasn't Egwene exactly like that, too? *NM*

No. Egwene never once treats Nynaeve and Elayne as though they were not AS

She was a reformist Amyrlin. Cadsuane may also be, she is unconventional

But good fantasy has an element of realism, or else you can't suspend your disbelief.
