"Would" a man "yes" is the answer and "could" a man (withstand), a double yes is the implication of this canon.

Soooo that leaves us wondering, again Glorfindel's words that give one a headache, because "not by the hand of man" means not "Eowyn is not of man(kind)" but "a woman I am, not a man".

But are you saying this somehow disproves my point? I never said males were inherently unable to withstand the Witch-king- where did you get that idea?
