Agreed, davem. It is much easier (despite the presence of Lucy as the central character in LWW) to argue a case for CS Lewis being a sexist writer than Tolkien. The fear of feminine power (Jadis, the above-mentioned Lady of the Green Kirtle enslaving men etc), for starters. There's no Galadriel figure in Lewis, at all, let alone Elbereth. It's patriarchy all the way.
