That doesn't sound like Walker's Feminist Fairy Tales (which are nothing of the sort) and yet I still can't help but getting flashbacks to Walker and that book?

It's not a Walker book but it's definitely from that Walkerien vein of really shitty feminism.Honestly, I did a double-take when I first read his FRWiki article, but I guess that's what you get when you take a great wyrm dracolich and slap twenty-five levels of wizard and archmage on top of it. And he's one of a handful of people (or "people") along with Ioulaum, Larloch and Shaaan who are canonically more powerful than Elminster and who I've seen get trotted out as a figleaf against the "Elminster is too OP and Greenwood's Stu" accusations... even though all of them hardly ever do anything except exist in the background of the lore while Elminster's all over the place in everything Greenwood has a hand in.

There is no defence of Elminster and his Stuness and honestly trying to sounds like a good reason to never play D&D with that person.
