Re: Female Orcs?

For pure speculation, I think the fact that orcs were bred not for the sake of them, or for the beauty of Arda, but for the purposes of Melkor, is vital.

For a warrior- and slave-race, whose sole existence should be blasphemous, the beauty of distinct sexes seems less appropriate than asexual reproduction, or hermaphroditic creatures.
