The thing that bugs me the most is all the talk from both genders saying how the other is so crazy and foolish and does everything wrong. Does nobody in Randland actually understand that men and women are DIFFERENT and that it's actually OK?? Just because our brain chemistry is completely different, very often leading to different viewpoints and opinions, it doesn't mean the one or the other is wrong. It's just different. Often, the one will see things in a light the other hadn't considered, and vice versa. I believe that was intentional. In my opinion, neither gender can get the whole picture and function at peak efficiency without the unique insights and viewpoints of the other. That's exactly why RJ describes that the most magnificent wonders from the Age of Legends involved men and women working TOGETHER, which, to me, implies they were equal partners, each contributing their different views and ways of thinking without being belittled for thinking differently.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm on a soap-box here, but I'm just amazed that any of the marriages in Randland last at all if nobody has managed to figure this out. Luckily, I managed to figure it out BEFORE getting married, and it has helped a LOT.
