Are Tolkiens Books Sexist? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-25-2002, 02:36 AM

This thread had wandered a long way from the original question and lost any Tolkien-relatedness that it had. It now appears to be a discussion of personal, contemporary viewpoints on sexism, feminism and prostitution. Those who wish to continue that train of thought should establish personal contact by PM, e-mail or whatever.

I am closing the thread until someone can convince me (by sending me a PM about the topic, not about persons!) that s/he has something Tolkien-related to add to the discussion that hasn't already been said. Required reading: all three pages of this thread and whatever else shows up upon entering 'sexism' or 'sexist' into the search function.

'The Books' is for Middle-earth discussions. That is why the Barrow-Downs site exists. Let's talk Tolkien!
