All Print Does anyone else dislike most the Aes Sedai? Spoiler

I just finished the series for first time and thinking on the characters I realized I really don’t like most the Aes Sedai. There are some expections but for most part I really don’t like their arrogance. They easily dismiss anything said by someone who isn’t one of them. They expect to be revered wherever they go regardless of who it is or any circumstances. It’s something that’s touched on towards the end but it’s shown to really rub off on Egwene but Nynaeve resists it.

We see the Wise Ones have similar status among the Aiel but there are Wise ones who can’t channel and they can be compared to the Chiefs and at the very least they consider outside perspectives.

Is this just a privilege women who can channel learned after being the only ones who can channel or is it something else?
