Fili and Kili

*This essay is a part of my 'Tolkien and Gender' series. You must read my Intro before reading this essay.*

I am writing this essay because I am just appalled by some of the things I have read about Fili and Kili's characterizations in the films. I am not usually a dwarf fan, and Kili is the only dwarf I'm a fan of (not that there is anything wrong with the others, it's just my personal taste).

Feminism Terminology

Throughout my years of studying feminism, gender, and sexuality; I have never found a terminology list that fully satisfies me. This is my attempt to make one. No list can be completely comprehensive, because everyone has their own unique way of defining themselves. However, I hope this list is a good tool for people new to these subjects.

I highly recommend reading all of the terminology before following any of the links, because you will have a much better chance of understanding said articles! However, you really should follow the “see more” links after reading all of the terminology. Those articles give a lot of depth and clarification about their respective subjects.

I am not using terms that include [x]phobia/[x]phobic because systems of oppressions are not phobias, and using such language perpetuates ableism. However, some of the articles I link to do use those terms. I am not disagreeing with the content of any of the articles I link, merely the terminology.
