If men and women constantly arguing is too grating for you I've got some bad news about the other 12 books. I don't think it starts to get particularly good until like book 3 and then around 7 or 8 it's nothing but people sitting in rooms arguing for an entire book.
Not men and women, Rand and Egwene specifically. They have fought and made up and then fought about the exact same thing again four times now. Perhaps it's 'realistic' to teenagers, but it does not make for compelling reading material.
I don't know if I could ever read them again. I was a fairly voracious reader when I was a teenager and there's a couple entries in the series that really drag.

Jordan beats the "men and women just don't understand each other" horse into the dirt, with a lot of braid tugging and men being stubborn / stoic.
