Conquer the world and remake reality in his image. Literally satan in the story. In that time, the good side was losing badly and they werent certain how long they could hang on. The females wanted to wait until their super weapon was completed iirc but the males and the chosen one felt there was no time to waste as they were losing strength with every passing day. The males eventually chose to go on a direct strike on the dark capital to seal the dark one away from their reality but they failed to do so properly (possibly cause they lacked female support) and the backlash from the dark one tainted the male half of the power, which very few of them saw coming, and they went insane and fucked up the world by creating new mountains, destroying cities etc so a very pyrrhic victory. Civilisation dropped from more advanced than our times down to dark ages cause of that
Yeah , both genders that still remained loyal to good wanted to fight but they just had very differing ideas on how to fight.
There's a lot of random accusations in the book that suggest if females had joined in the fight instead of insisting on waiting till they finished their super weapon, the dark one would have been perfectly sealed since the constant theme in the book is that the most powerful magic is created when males and female magicians work together in harmony
But then there are others who say both sides would have been tainted which would have probably destroyed the world as at least having a sane female magical force to stop the crazy male magicians running around was better than having both sides being crazy and very few people being able to stop them
This is all in book lore though, so its very decently rationalised
So much so The Dark One's name is 'Shai'tan' and it's not the only example of such naming in the books what with The Final Battle being called "Tar'mon gaidon" which is just 'Armageddon' by another name. Likewise Aiel warriors refer to themselves as "Algai'd'siswai" which equates to 'I will guide us this way'.
They weren't simping. If they were simping they'd just have listened to the women and not launched the final attack on the dark one
