The Straw Haired Chits Discuss the Badass Women of the Wheel

Welcome to an extra-special collaboration featuring Lesley of STUCK ON ARRAKIS and Aradia of WOT SPOILERS and BEYOND EARTH SPOILERS! Today, the Straw Haired Chits are picking up where we left off on Malkier Talks' WOTaHoliday stream (podcast version here) as we discuss the relative strengths and merits of the badass women of the Wheel of Time. Our completely arbitrary system of discourse as we debate how much of a "strong female character" each person is revolves around four points: Does this character have a clear objective?Does that objective revolve around a man?What is the skill set that this character uses to pursue that objective?What's their boob power ranking? As you can imagine, some of these points are more important (and serious) than others. Today's discussion covered, in the following order: ElayneEgweneNynaeveFaile ~~~This episode contains SPOILERS through the END of THE SHADOW RISING.~~~Listen to Lesley at Stuck On Arrakis, and follow her on Twitter!Listen to Aradia at WOT Spoilers and Broken Earth Spoilers, and follow her on Twitter and Instagram!Check out our FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM and TWITTER.Check out our Patreon at patreon.com/wheeltakesEmail us at [email protected]'s nicknames confusing you?
