The Wheel of Time TV | parallels the mess we're in with TRAs, feminists etc?

[FindTheTruth]

I couldn't help but see the parallels watching this. is it just me?

Possibly:

Aes Sedai - feminists
White Cloaks - Misogynists
White Cloak Questioner - blue ticked men on the left who want to burn feminists at the stake

hard to do this without spoilers

Interesting. I have been wanting to watch this anyway so will look out for this and come back to you.

Liandrin Guirale (Kelly-Jay Keen) of the Red Ajah who police the power (sex-based rights)

Nynaeve al'Meara (Karen Ingala) The Wisdom and leader of the Women's circle (female only of course)

Egwene - (a woman visiting MN for the first time) of strong potential who wants to learn everything, as fast as possible

I like this! Not sure kellie-jay would want to be represented by liandrin though (no spoilers)
Where it falls down is that the aes sedai have power and dominate the discourse.

Also, actually trying to read the books is very like being a GC campaigner; it sucks up years of your life, you go through periods where you want to give up but feel you've invested too much and periods when you feel as though you're making real progress; you wonder if it will ever end and before you know it, ten years have passed and you still haven't finished.

Haha love this analogy.
Also that there are different approaches within the White Tower. Our targeted feminist academics would be the brown ajah, for example. Those campaigning for single sex spaces within hospitals, prisons, hostels, etc would be the yellow ajah.

Whitecloak questioners are the MRAs who pretend that they are fanatically on the right side of history whilst in reality are there because they are given the power to sadistically torture who they like, whenever and however they like, in the name of the Light, and most people being too scared of receiving the same themselves to stand up to them.

Yes with a light in their eyes, holy days, ceremonies, rituals, mantras

I had exactly this thought when I watched it and said to DH that IRL the Whitecloaks would be led by Owen Jones.

Oh! That's it. Perfect analogy 😂
