I love all the diversion and such. I can see how that might bother someone though. It just makes it seem more realistic to me. I imagine that if there was this whole big battle against evil thing going on, there would be a myriad of other things from other people with different agendas or opinions on how to deal with the problems.

About the sexism thing, I don't think there is any kind of negative look towards women. In my opinion, Jordan is just one of the few authors who makes women a major part in his story, and that difference from other authors makes it stand out. They are just more characters to me.
