I do see what you are all saying, but I'm not thinking of this from a directors point of view. Personaly, I would gladly fight before sending my young children to fight for me. And if you notice the age of some of those kids. There is no way on earth that they can be stronger than a full grown woman. <P>Another thing that bothered me is the amount of soldiers that seem to die. Wouldnt all the survivors be barring the door? And why is it that only men seemed to survive? Legolas is the only elf that goes back. <P>Everyone refers to medieval times. But Middle-Earth is not medieval. Things work differently there. Eowyns line shows that women should fight.
