Has anyone here considered the fact that AAragorn and Arwen had several daughters, yet it was the youngest, the son who ascended to the throne. I always wondered why the custom of Queens was not carried to the Middle Earth lands from Numenor, unless it had something to do with the way the crown of Numenor was usurped from the last queen... food for thought.
I dont think Tolkiens writing of women in the roles he did had anything to do with sexism and such, but more to do with the time period portrayed and the honor and respect women were given.
