Silmaril Strong women

I have heard of, as I'm sure we all have, that Tolkien had somthing against woman. Now I was thing on this and came up with a total different answer.
In every book that I've read by Tolkien, woman are high and noble. they aren't made to fight and get killed they're too beautiful and precious. now some people take this as sexist or what ever, but I thing Tolkien places woman on high pedestals and lifts them above the men! i think that tolkien had great respect for the woman in his story, and didn't give them bad parts, okay there aren't many but the ones that are there are more important than the men! Arwen is above Aragorn, Galadriel is above Celeborn (and everyone else) and Eowyn kills the witch king something No man can do!
