men are drawn more to the prospect of power than women are

I could not agree more. That's why we men always buy power tools and sports equipment that we are never going to use. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I think that, as has been said earlier, the main reason the Ring had less of an effect on women as a whole was because Professor Tolkien did not have many prominent women in his book, and fewer still who actually came into contact with the Ring. I think that, had a woman found the Ring, it would probably have affected her similarly as it did with Galadriel and all of the males who came in contact with it.

Thanks for the link to the old thread, Underhill and Lush. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It is quite a good read.

Cheers!
