I wonder if maybe that's the real point, that Men are burdened with this totally unjustified reputation for weakness by people, (specifically Galadriel) who are not a wit better than we are.

I mean Galadriel and Elrond keep *saying* Men are weak but what we're seeing is Men are the only ones actually taking up arms against the Dark Lord. BTW I don't think Elrond really means it, he's just upset and discouraged and venting to Gandalf in a very Human fashion [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
