tronger in the One Power

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Miscellaneous Theories

K, This is the first time I've ever entered a theory, so bear with me here. Ok, I think that the Reason that men were stronger in the One Power in the Age of Legends is because of the way it is touched.

For example, women surrender, an analogy would be like a water hose spraying against a wall, that the woman can tilt to control the spray of the water, men fought it, an analogy would be like Two streams shooting out of two water hoses directly at each other, so the spray of water has more force in the second instance. I don't know how much sense that made, but I hope you get the idea.

It makes sense, but remember that the Women and Men have always had strengths and weakenesses in the use of the OP depending on what they are trying to manipulate, spirit, fire, water, air, or earth. I think there may be another analogy that better fits the situation...
