i agree that tolien had a proplem with women, but he spent most of his lif at Oxford, an all male university at the time,
he never spent any time with women, he didnt understand them. but you have to take into account British society at teh time he wrote the book. Women were only just begining to me emanciopated, (this explaines Eowyn) and women were seen as beutiful objects to behold, the elves, Arwen and Gladriel, etc. Women were misterious to Tolkien, thus he made most of them elves
