I somehow got interviewed by USA Today as a result of being a very minor part of this community. One of the questions they asked me cracked me up: "Are any women going to watch this movie?" The movie moguls were afraid LotR would only appeal to teenaged boys, apparently. They weren't counting on the Leggy-loo lovers and the old ladies like me (and many others on these boards) who have loved LotR for decades.

Well, I am 'basically a girl'. But that is my lot I suppose.

I am a male. Most Tolkien fans I know are males. I honestly don't think it's strictly a male or female fandom. There are plenty of fans of both genders!!!

It was one of the great hilarious moments in TORn history

and contributed a new word to the TORn lexicon.
What made it so sweet was the quality of replies, and especially the way the chivalrous men came to the defense of the women.
It also led to this immortal post: Sil's pink bathing suit

As exemplified by TORn. I can say I'm quite proud of that fact.

Interesting to see women are overrepresented by quite a margin, if the poll is representative of the site at large, which is perfectly fine by me I should add. In most "genre fanbases" it feels like the guys tend to outnumber the girls by far, always nice to see a larger female presence.
