Females in the Fellowship

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

It's reality, men are the warriors. Face it!

This comment was a while back, but I only just saw it now, and had a very strong reaction, so here's what I think:
You are making an extreme generalization. I have friends who are guys (that could also disprove the quote about girls and guys not being able to be just friends, as I do know that I will never be in any way involved with any of them), and I can beat all of them up easily. What you are saying is like saying all girls who try to fight use their "girl-slap". I have never "girl-slapped" anyone in my life, and know that (*somewhere*) there are other girls who understand that a punch is certainly more effective.

I do not think that there should have ben a female in the Fellowship, but am feeling very feministic just now.
