1. They are not women. As a result, they enjoy all sorts of perks.
- They are far more likely to grow to something approximating normal size.
- They are physically competant, rendering them able to perform ordinary tasks without extreme exertion.
- They are capable of logical thought and abstract reasoning to a degree expected of adult human beings (It can hardly be surprising that the smallest Ajah in the Tower is the one dedicated to logic, with a close runner-up in lack of appeal being the self-proclaimed idealists who seek justice, while the popular Ajahs are those dedicated to the preservation of the status quo).
- They are the up-and-coming gender. With the sexes having social equality for the most part, aside from a few places where great effort must be made to preserve the women's slight edge, it must be a source of satifaction that women have so narrow a lead with the enormous advantage of a One Power monopoly. Or that no woman in known history has ever matched the achievements of either one of the two greatest men (LTT & Hawkwing), or made the world tremble as several posers with no real help except a Power in which they had no training and which was also their greatest liability did. Now with the vast advantage formerly possessed by the women nullified, how long can they maintain their dominance?
