Women by evicting Tom you are eviciting one of your own. Do you not know that professor Tolkien designated Tom as a woman? In Letter # 76 he stated

Quote:
I decided that Tom would be a female troll. Though its unlikely common knowledge as her name is generally that of a man's. This issue is resolved when one considers the many facets of Troll society. Trolls by their very nature are aggressive and overly masculine, this includes the females. Therefore when a female troll shows exceptional physical prowess she is granted the name of her choosing. Tom use to be Jane but thought this far too feminime for such a proud warrior.
So if your goal is to save women you are going about this incorrectly.
