The "Fair" Sex in LotR

[Bêthberry]

Greetings greyhavener and Naaramare,

I'm going to go out on a limb here, purely for the sake of discussion. *looks around for some chainmail in case I need body armour* (joke)

greyhavener said:

Women are presented as men see them."

And Naaramare suggested that there was more to Arwen's banner than might have been apparent.

Putting these two ideas together, is it possible to see subterfuge as a female quality in LOTR (this is a fairly common perception among men of women), particularly when the heroic ideal among the male characters is to acknowledge one's adversary and position clearly?

*ducks for cover*
