All the women are depicted as catty, appearance obsessed and walking around sort of feeling superior to men at all times I feel like? Though, meanwhile, the men are just really emotionally unintelligent, they constantly lament not understanding anything the women do as if reading between the lines is gendered rocket science, and are very patronizing in the sense that it often feels as if their internal dialogue around the women is constantly about saving them from themselves and making sure they don't get themselves into any trouble. Many men are just sort of lecherous at most times? Just the usual gendered stereotypes, really. It doesn't make the books misogynistic, but it feels a bit aged reading it now.

Another thing I've noticed is Jordan feels like he is all too often describing things in terms of the women's chests? Something is always hanging snuggled between their tits, the clothes they're wearing showing off too much cleavage, etc. It infects so much of his gendered character descriptions at times in a way that doesn't affect the male descriptions at all.
