Pro-male dogma was common of C.S. Lewis' time let alone the Church... Let's remember how far society has moved in general towards the acceptance of women as intelligent contributing memebers of society; women are afforded more opportunity then ever before.
I've personally always been facinated by Lewis' views on gender. One only has to go as far as Perelandra to see that Lewis has great respect for women in that he sees them as eathern mothers, wise, and mostly innocent (enter here the green lady). His views are stereotypical for sure but don't some stereotypes emerge from fragments of truth? Don't most women feel strongly about, say, communication in relationship while men desire physical compatability? There are some things that men and women revert to at there most basic sense of being- Lewis just takes this thought further than we are comfortable admitting... Sometimes women are just emotional and men are just physical, soft vs. hard, yielding vs. taking, thoughtful vs. taking action, etc. We have predisposed views on feminine and masculine, I think, because we are indeed created with different kinds of intelligence and the yin and yang of feminine and masculine shouldn't be feared or discarded simply because we don't fully understand them.

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

Did anyone else read THS this way?

Jane could have had a child, who would have done great things in the world in the name of good. These good things would have lasted over 1000 years. (as says Merlin) I presumed this child WOULD have been the next Pendragon. (An assumption) Because Jane missed her opportunity Dennistons child will be the next Pendragon. I am aware I am making assumptions. Please tell me how I should see it differently. If both assumptions are wrong then who would be the next Pendragon?

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

I still hope my question is answered and if anyone else saw it how I saw it. BUT I do think the sentiments of them both being at fault hold true. Well put, and that is how I read it at least.
