They were being historically accurate in portraying women's roles of the 1940's during WWII. The reason SPR didn't get sued is because they were being historically accurate. You can't sue someone for making a movie and portraying history as it was. LOTR, however, is fantasy, and is totally different from historical movies. I think you need to make that connection between the two before you compare history to fantasy.
