*punches F'lar in the face* (he spends the entire first novel being a douchenozzle. The second one starts promisingly, and then he makes a list of the female leaders and decides they'd be useless at the all-boys meeting he's going to--where all the boys act like two-year olds and make more of a hash than the women would have)

He's not very bright.

I hate to say but her male leads, particularly F'lar, are such direct translations of 1960s romance novel tropes. . . .

*punches F'lar in memory of his stupidity, too*

YES. And you can tell when a woman is evil because she actively likes sex/wants it.

The difficulty with F'lar is that he always thinks he's right, and the text agrees with him. So even when, say, talking to Lessa to explain his ideas would save them all time, he still doesn't, because she's just a woman. (to be fair, half the first novel would be out the window if he just talked to Lessa, so I suppose you couldn't really make people behave like intelligent adults, or there'd be no plot)
