I don't think they were talking about women in terms of how many enemies they slew...As for me, reading over what Tolkien wrote about Lady Galadriel, I think all doubts about his attitude toward women may be erased by the Lothlorien chapters. Did he understand women? Not entirely. But I believe he admired them (us!).
