Would you be a male in the WoT?

1. If you can channel the One Power, you'll go mad or you'll rot alive. If you avoid these you'll be subjected to the rough treatment of the Red ajah, and you will die from depression a few years later.

2. If you're part of the new generation of Ash'aman who channel without the taint, you may be in luck. You need to survive the harsh training where you might die or be burnt out. There's also a huge gathering of darkfriends there, and lethal discipline is not uncommon. If you manage to channel and stay Light, you'll find that Rand al'Thor has just agreed to have you bonded to the Tower against your will. Or Taim... he's agreed to have you bonded to the Red ajah. Not the Greens, the Reds.

3. If you're a warder you won't get tired easily and you're a killing machine, but if an arrow takes out your fragile Aes Sedai you'll go insane and get yourself killed. Either way, it's a life of servitude if that's what you like.

4. If you can channel in Shara or Seanchan you're killed on sight. If you're Aiel you're sent to the Blight to face the Dark One (this always ends badly).

5. On a seafolk ship a man has almost zero authority unless it has to do with cargo decisions.

6. In Andor you can never be king.

7. In most other nations you can be king, but almost never are.

8. Even in small villages, the Woman's Circle emasculates almost every man and runs things.

9. In Shara, Ayyad men aren't taught to read, write or do anything except make babies at the age of 16. At the age of 21 they are executed and cremated.

10. You can be the most powerful Clan Chief in the Aiel, but the Wise Ones run the show.

11. Two out of three Clan Chief initiates die in the Rhuidean ter'angreal, but the Wise Ones use the same ter'angreal at a stage and almost never die.

12. Almost all the male Forsaken are dead, but almost none of the women.

13. One of the greatest men in history died in infamy after sealing away the Dark One and all the Forsaken, whereas the woman who killed off the remaining Shadowspawn got the title 'Cutter of the Shadow' and died a hero.

14. The great ta'veren Hawkwing had all his major mistakes reversed due to the better thinking of a woman at his side, namely Amaline or Tamika.

15. The Dragon Reborn will kill you without a second's thought if you cross him, but if you're a woman you won't die or get tortured. You might not even get punished.

16. Dreamwalking is very rare in men.

17. The main protagonists are often displayed as childish impulsive men with clear thinking and intelligent women at their sides.

18. A woman in Ebou Dar can kill a man with very little defense needed.

19. Male nobles in Seanchan are forced to try on the a'dam for fun by the Empress. Sometimes they die.

20. Male Trollocs are for war and are always massacred. Female trollocs are safe in the blight making babies.

21. The Dark One is referred to as 'he'.

22. If you're a male Forsaken you might come back in a woman's body, but the reverse has not been shown to apply.

23. Men can't link. If you can't do it alone, you can't do it ever.

24. Most mainland armies are composed of men alone, and thus these are the people most often butchered in the multitude of battles we see.
