If we want to play up the ‘staying true to Tokien’s sources’ angle, we could say that Tolkien is clearly influenced by Norse mythology and the cultures that spawned them. Well, there’s strong archeological evidence for Nordic warrior women. So that’s at least true to his inspirations just with a more modern understanding of the context
What has the fact of warrior women existance to do with indecent sitting position? Germanic noble women would fight barebrested - that really did happen - but still would not sit this way.
Modern is good in modern context. ME is not modern - at that by the author's explicit design.
ME is timeless. Making it modern destroys its timelessness. It will already be dated in a decade.
