It is not just Aes Sedai. It seems to me that RJ's females are (with exceptions) not as rational or intelligent as his males are. The Aes Sedai are arrogent idiots for the most part, which is somewhat realistic seeing how they are were, for the most part, the unquestioned power in the world. However, when they get in trouble, they seem to go to pieces. This sees like a odd choice on RJ's part. One would think that they would be more impressive. They also are not very far thinking wich is odd. Are not they supposed to be the world's authority on the future. Overall, after their impressive depiction in the first book, they gradually became more rediculous.

The person above me has a really cool avatar.
