Diamond18 is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Tolkien

People who say that Tolkien was anti-woman don't take into account that he was born and raised in the Victorian era (or the tail-end, anyway). It was part of Victorian culture to put women on a pedistal and view them as angelic beings. Sometimes I wouldn't mind that....
