All I care about is that they are working women who love their work and that the story reflect those passions and complications in their lives; romance is totally optional; femslash is always great (because there is never enough of it) but het relationships or no romantic involvements at all are fine also. I have a theory, which you may or may not share, that Noldorin women had broken through many of the old-school male-dominated ways of viewing things, especially once they reached Middle-earth. But a lot like women in professions and the workplace today, felt pressured to prove they were as good or better than the men they worked with. Just suggestions not requirements for issues to include.
Men are fine--they almost certainly need to be part of the picture. Ost-in-Edhil is not a ladies' world although I am sure their talent was important there and they pushed to be included at highest levels.
I have to acknowledge that Pandemonium's work influences me greatly.
