LOTR - classist?

[Holbytlass]

I know things are being discussed about what Tolkien thought about class but the story itself is based on a time when there was class and even sexism.
Not having benefit of the letters, what I've gleaned here was that Tolkien wanted his stories to be of a medeivalish history for England, right?

And even what Selmo brings up Tolkien's own timeframe of not being alot of women's rights and equalities (compared to today) that he had to go on.

I'm sorry but my thoughts are stuttering.

What I'm trying to say is that right or wrong to today's standard the story is based on a time when there was class and sexism. I'm glad to see that the story was not written "politically correct", that would make no sense to that time period. On the flip side I'm glad to see examples where classism and sexism policies were shattered in the examples of Sam and Eowyn otherwise it would be a rather sterile story of everyone in their place.
