I know, right? For all these people go on about how empowered their women are, they still slide pretty neatly into the traditional "women have strong emotions/are smart/have a good soul, men are physically powerful" concept.

(Not that I have any problems with women who control the elements or anything or with men who have physical powers, it's just that they came right out and said that that's how it ALWAYS is in this world, with few exceptions. Not even Meyer put it like that -_-)
