Unrelated to your original question, and not something I particularly want or intend to disparage you over, or discuss further - each to their own and all that - but I’d just be wary of dismissing entire works purely based on your perception of how women are represented, without taking into account the society in which they were written and the worlds in which they were set - I think you’ll make your life poorer for it. If anything, why not read it to see if it confirms your original impression? Plus, as I’m sure you’re aware, in LOTR there are a number of powerful and plot vital female characters, including Galadriel, Éowyn and even Shelob :)

    Thanks, that’s great :)

    I’m also using ubo but NextDNS rather than a pinhole - I’ll have to investigate and see if there’s more I can do to get the increasing numbers of html-load using sites to load..
