What exactly does the term rights mean? I know it means nothing to me. "Rights" is something too PC, too obscure, and certainly too trite. As a woman, I want to be treated like a human being. I want to be protected and loved by the men in my life, but never do I wish to be the silent beauty in the corner, smothered in loving care. If I must wait, I will wait, but retain the right to throw myself in the path of nine extremely tempremental Nazgul, if I so choose. I'm not up there burning my bra (you just DON'T burn langerie by La Perla, let me tell you), and screaming and banging on the pots and pans for some elusive "rights." I just want to live my life as I see fit. And this is why I appreciated what PJ did in terms of Arwen's character. And as for the minor problem of Elrond not letting her out of Rivendell, well, let us not be naive. The art of sneaking out to undertake a dangerous mission with one's stubbly-cheeked lover was surely perfected by then! Really, I think some of you guys may have enjoyed meeting the Arwen as she was in the movie! A female both fiery, and soothing, now that is rare indeed! I'm one, but I'm eternally unavailable to most. [ February 02, 2002: Message edited by: Lush ]
