Oh, ouch. Shades of Jon here. Thank you so much for commenting. It definitely is interesting to think about how we have a prediction about Neal being shocked to learn that his daughter will want to train as a knight and Jon discouraging his daughter to train as a page when both of those men are best friends to lady knights and would probably see themselves as advocates of women's rights (at least as they are understood in Tortall). Jon and Neal are fascinatingly complex characters for me, and I think their stances with regards to their daughters being knights sort of shows that.
