Female Nazgûl???

Bb, nine for mortal men, doomed to die.....

.....but the Balrog spread its wings, and we all know that Balrogs don't have wings, thus your point is surely lost. So the Nazgul might have included some ladies.

Did anyone else find that earlier "Sauron=racist/sexist" discussion quite hilarious?

Aye, Eomer. This was a thread just begging to be revisited.

You know, I have always felt this was a bit of bad press, or even Translator's Conceit. I mean, after all, we never actually see an entwife, so we never observe her/ their actual behaviour or attitude towards the natural environment. All we get is the opinion of the ents. Talk about one side of the story!
