<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>But where does it say that by MEN it means males? It could very well mean humans, because all humans are often refered to as "men" or "mankind" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>In the Silmarillion it states: "Men proved easier to ensnare. Those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old." Kings, sorcerers, and warriors are male in gender not female.
