[Split] Older men/virginal women

[Brynefan 2]

If he didn't make Morgase disgusted with herself for being in love with Tallanvor I would look past those age difference things, but that makes it too obvious that only older men/younger women is socially acceptable. Why do they even care if women are said to have so much power? The only reason that has become common in this world is because older men have money and women weren't supposed to work until very recently.

 

I want Siuan to become her old self. That young looking state is annoying.

Siuan Sanche running away from Bryne's sight is a bit much for me. That is way too childish.

That was a huge step away from what was going on in the earlier books. I was starting to think RJ forgot what he had written. Siuan disappointed me there.

there was the whole Tylin/Mat relationship, that was an experienced woman and less experienced guy scenario and she didn't feel guilty about that in the slightest

The stupid thing about that though was that Mat felt violated - not because she had forced herself on him but because he had not initiated the relationship. He was whining and crying because he hadn't been the one to chase her and she gave him presents and touched his cheek in public and other stuff he thought women aren't supposed to do because it makes them look independent and makes his penis feel small.

I guess he also felt quite uncomfortable at this being quite acceptable, what with Tylin's son(Beslan ?) telling him he approved of his mom's selection ?

 

I guess he was a little shocked at her skills ("more hands then an octopus" comment)

[Ekho 52]

He whined alot, but he defininetly enjoyed himself

Post-stilling Siuan disappointed me too. I don't like the way she carries on. It's unSiuanlike. I'd love to see a grownup scene between her and Gareth.

 

 

(off topic rant! - I really don't like that she didn't even mention or seem to think about Moiraine after Mo was presumed dead. There was a moment where Egwene witnessed Moiraine behaving oddly after hearing about Siuan. That was in character for Moiraine. For there to just be nothing is highly strange for Siuan.)

Two Rivers people are very narrow minded As for Siuan: I want a mix of the NS version and the pre stilling version.

 

 

I couldn't agree more on Siuan's lack of reaction over Moiraine's death, but I thought that she managed to hide it among the feelings over her dead warder. She never displayed those publicly either.
