Jordan gets a lot of criticism because he was one of the biggest fantasy writers and his series is one of the most well-known, long-running series out there. ANYONE who writes a series that big and that popular with such terrible handling of female characters (or one could argue, characters, period) is going to get a lot of flack, regardless of gender. As they should.

I didn't find his grasp of female characters nuanced at all. They're nearly interchangeable in terms of personality, and there's a sharp and very glaring divide between men vs. women in his books, especially in how they relate to the opposite gender. All the women being argumentative manipulators of men does not strike me as being anywhere near equality.
