The testing arches are almost certainly linked to tel'aran'rhiod as evidenced by Egwenes trip through them that was massively affected by the presence of the twisted dreaming ring or her skill as a dream walker or a combination of both.

In Baerlon Moiraine shared the room with Egwene and then Nynaeve while the boys and Thom shared.

I am pretty they were sharing a room which the innkeeper would be aware of. Having Rand and Min claiming to be married would be a way to more easily blend in as across most of randland unmarried men and woman sharing a room would be considered scandalous.

Can be a bit of a two edged sword though, some people who gain unlimited freedom from interference from editors or other creative control can lose themselves to excess. Take Zac Snyder, Patty Jenkins and Takia Wahtiti as examples that I can think of off the top of my head. The more uncontrolled they become the worse their work became (not that Snyder in particular was good to begin with).

Finn Playing Moriarty with Guy Ritchie production could be interesting.

She has a PoV outside Shadar Logoth immediately after Moiraine reveals that she can channel where she thinks that she can learn to channel and that she can therefore use the power against Moiraine. They have another confrontation where Moiraine directly states to Nynaeve that without training how will she challenge her (cannot remember the exact point early book 2 I think?). It is not till much later after Moiraine is thought dead that she relents on this. Not saying she does not eventually overcome this or that she would fall largely into being selfish but to claim that she is completely unmoored from self-interest is wrong and claiming that she is the only one or even the best example of this altruistic nature is even further from correct.

I am not sure this is accurate Nyneave originally largely wanted to learn to use the power so that she could use it against Moiraine and a large component of this was so that she could win Lan. That can hardly be called selfless. Siuan, Moiraine and Perrin are more altruistic than Nyneave IMO.

There is no shame in being captured by wetlanders as they do not follow Ji'e'toh and thus does not count in the same way as taking a Gai'shan. In the show I thought Avi took some responsibility for the death of another maiden and that was what she was ashamed by. Although that would have required some negligence on her part to fit into the books version of Ji'e'toh. If you are referring to Egwene spanking/strapping then remember that for her being exposed was something she had struggled with, she even thought afterwards when Rhurrac was mentioned that she wanted a different punishment if he wanted to collect.

But it's not even that. Emonds Field does not have people wandering about assaulting each other for lack of respect, it is only Nynaeve. The example you provide in relation to the Aiel everyone in the society is operating under the same societal norms. The Aiel in the books did not have an obsession with spanking that I remember. The punishments seemed to vary in my memory and often seemed specifically targeted to cause the individual the most discomfort mentally rather than physically. Aviendha was subjected to running laps, cleaning, a set of stripes from Amys (unsure if this was limited to the rear) and when they went all out it was meaningless work that was prescribed not physical punishment.

If I remember rightly the Wisdom is the leader of all woman's circles in each village. The new wisdom is usually trained by the previous (watch hill i think appointed a trained wisdom from another village to avoid any favouritism). I am unsure within the villages what corporal punishment you are referring to among the adults is? The only example i can come up with is the couple who slept together before marriage and that would have been a punishment decided by the womans circle not just a random temper tantrum. I am not ignoring it with the children it is simply not relevant to include a parent disciplining a child in this discussion, and no I do not condone it as a method of discipline. This discussion has to do with a grown woman physically striking people simply for an actual or a perceived lack of respect. Saying that this actual or perceived lack of respect is enough to place some of the responsibility on the assaulted is not okay. Yes I will call it victim blaming because it is.

Nynaeve was not democratically appointed. The mayor used the illusion of a threat in Luhans's muscles to directly counter an explicit threat to burn down the Inn and kill or injure people. If you cannot see the difference between that and actually striking people whom you deem are disrespecting you then you need to look closer. The mayor did not threaten to assault Cenn when he was aware that he had disrespected the council and himself by divulging the fireworks.

It really feels like you are saying the bullied and abused must share some of the blame for her physical violence being effective. I doubt, and hope it was not, that was your intention.

Mat is the only one that has question marks. To the best of my knowledge, he only has 3 confirmed lovers Melinhdra, Tylin and Tuon. It is heavily implied that he slept or pursued a number of maids and waitress's but from what I can remember all the scenes that actually are in the books ended with nothing more than dancing and kissing. Perrin only sleeps with Faile. Rand only sleeps with Aviendha (two times only), Elayne (once) and Min (multiple times). It is possible that if you are assessing it on amount of times they actually have sex in total and not partners that Perrin could come out on top.

Not sure what the fact that 3 young virgins experienced more sexual activity after they left the village has to do with what is the accidental or forced activity you are referring to?

I don't think this statemen is correct. Not being entirely sure of your book progress i will not start examining things in detail but if you could provide the examples that have led you to this belief would be handy.
