PJ is getting enough grief for deviating from the books, this would have only been multiplied by having the women in Helm's Deep fighting. Human women simply didn't do this in LoTR. Now for my next reason I'm going to leave spoiler space for those that haven't read RoTK.SPOILERIn RoTK, the only way Eowyn fights with the boys is dressing as a man. If fighting women were the norm in Rohan, then it kind of ruins what's happening here.H.C.
