Lanfear was always kind of cringy. She's thousands of years old & chasing after a kid? At the time of the book's release, I wonder how many young male readers wished to be in Rand's position & never saw anything wrong with it? It reminds me of how normal it was in the 90's to perpetuate the gendered double standard that young men aren't victims if the woman is really beautiful.

On Earth, humankind can step onto another continent, and without a thought, destroy the kindred civilizations found there through warfare and disease. But when they gaze up at the stars, they turn sentimental and believe that if extraterrestrial intelligences exist, they must be civilizations bound by universal, noble, moral constraints, as if cherishing and loving different forms of life are parts of a self-evident universal code of conduct. I think it should be precisely the opposite: Let’s turn the kindness we show toward the stars to members of the human race on Earth.

I also had a whole post drafted about my thoughts on fictional romance but I think what it boils down to is that the Gaul line "I said I would come with you. I did not mean until the journey grew hard" does more for me than any romance I've ever read, EXCEPT romances that include that sentiment.

Imagine if Berelain had her own POV chapters & we weren't constantly being told how to feel about her by other characters. She's so formidable & plays the Game of Houses as well as Moiraine or Thom... it's just that she uses her sexuality as a weapon & that makes people uncomfortable.
