[TolkienGurl]

If Tolkien was sexist he would not have included Eowen killing the Nazgul - a man would have done it, probably Aragorn or Eomer. Galadriel would not have been one of the most important Elves in the Third Age - it would have been Elrond or Celeborn. Arwen was not a sex object. She was a character whom Aragorn was in love with, important to him and those who admire him in the story. Just because she or the other women were not given star parts doesn't mean there were sexist issues involved in the writing of the story. Anyway, it is my opinion that everyone is thinking way too much on this subject. Why do we have to bring personal/social problems (real or imaginary) into LOTR? These books were written a long time ago and modern issues should not be stressed in writings from a different time period. It really doesn't make sense why this topic was even brought up in the first place. Tolkien was not a sexist and to say so or even imply it is an insult to him and all his fans.
P.S. I read a comment on something about if a woman wants to be a man's mistress then "Good for her". That's not exactly good for women. I do believe in one's ability to make decisions concerning one's life, but something like that is absolutely wrong (on the part of the man and the woman) and degrading to women. And yes it is wrong and insulting to be thought of as a sex object.
P.P.S. the Lord of the Rings was written in a time that morals were still widely present in the general society. To imply that Aragorn would be only interested in Arwen eacuse of sex is a crazy misunderstanding and doesn't make sense.
