Maybe Tolkien was saying that while woman should be respected, some of society’s ‘chivalrous’ ideas were doing more harm than good, isolating woman instead of protecting them

I know I'm probably going out on a limb here being a male and all ;) but I can see a Biblical description of what women can and sometimes should be in this series. And of course what men should be. I think I may not have fully noticed it however until watching the movie and seeing it in action. Today's society will call it chauvinistic but there it is
