Well, unless Elrond suddenly lost his mind, I'm sure he would have picked females who could hold their own.
What I find interesting is that the people who say girls can be just as strong as guys follow that with, "and girls are smarter, too." Tsk tsk, you can give it, but you sure can't take it! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Yes there are girls who are stronger than guys. Yes there are guys stronger than girls. There are girls smarter than guys. And there are guys who are smarter than girls. Can't we all just get along *Disney music playing in the background*
And, no, I don't see the fellowship being female changing the way orcs treated them. I can't say that they seem like the most chivalrous creatures around, and since they didn't capture any male prisoners (unless under orders) I don't see why they'd take female ones. They are rather brutish creatures. "Ghhh. There enemy. Me kill."
