Nevermind Middle-earth is a little bit like "history" and it was presented that way, the way Tolkien envisioned it. Should we also have outright historical settings that try to portray things that were not possible and frame them as historical, so an outright lie and trying to rewrite reality itself? (I don't think so... that's bonkers, although that's already happening btw, in some cases - so very worrying).
There is nothing strange about it. What? You've never seen a man that looks a little feminine out in the real world? Where you hiding? Have you travelled at all? True, the vast majority of males look manly (particularly in the Western World), but not all do. Can't exclude them.
