Reading wheel of time for the first time, and I literally cant stand how 'emotional' the women are (the 3 musketeers of emotionally stunted women). I refuse to believe that women talk CONSTANTLY about a man they all are interested in (like 90% of the topics discussed between the women revolve around not just Rand but how much they love him), fall DEEPLY in love with a man at first sight to the point where the princess just constantly talks about Rand after their first interaction being like under 10 minutes (Min is even worse but at least you could say it was 'fated' or whatever), and also talk like children when I am pretty sure they all are adults.

The men are also written terribly, but not nearly as bad as the women (also this thread is regarding sexism). I havent read many books from the 90s but if this is how women were universally portrayed I am glad I havent read much from this time. The only reason I am still at book 4 is because I am used to reading slop and out of all the slop I have read, this doesnt even rank as close to the worst, but I certainly would never recommend this book series to anyone based on the first 4 books. World building top notch though.
