There are, technically, more scenes where two female characters interact but

this made me laugh lol

Yeah they forgot about the scene where the mom put the kids on the horse in Two Towers! I think that's it though.

One of many reasons why I completely agree with the decision to swap out Glorfindel for Arwen. Disappointed not to see him but I get it and agree.

I will have to check, but I don't think that counts because the mom talks primarily to the son.

Absolutely brutal.

Isn't there also the scene when the mom puts them on the horse?

Technically this passes the Becel Test, where they don't talk about butter
