Have you ever seen a woman who wars (Apart eowyn) or a man dances tell you that we are in the Middle Ages (fantastic) But at Elven level he might have Female dancer since they are free (Arwern could have participated in the war of the ring if she wanted it) so if I refused in suggestion the human man is because it is not logical It's not discriminatory that women don't participate in battles. It just makes sense. Nor is it discriminatory that more women would sing and dance than men. It also makes sense. Sexism is overused in cases where men and women are equal, but different. I understand the war thing (they are better at caring for children and biologically have less muscle mass then men typically) but how does the sing/dance thing make sense? Remember the song that Luthien sang before the throne of Morgoth, putting him to sleep? Prime example. In every instance of musical expression in Tolkien's works, it is men reciting poems/ staves of their own creation, and women singing. Dancing I am less sure about. Perhaps it's just bias because I am a man, and I hate dancing? In any case I recall no references to dancing in LotR, though I'm sure they exist. I thought that there was dancing in bilbo's party, but that may be the movie tainting my memory
