So, I've read through -most- of the thread, and most of what I'd have to say in defense of the topic being discussed has been said. Awesome.
Now.. A few things I'd consider that I haven't seen.. It seems most people are considering the Nunh position to be important, like.. Something that the Miqo'te revere, whether they be male or female. There was mention early on that the males would hold some sort of 'ownership' over their harem as well.
I've also seen.. Kyatai positioning that females could view breeding as a duty. Something they have to do because it's life, for them.
Instead, I'd offer that it's the males who view it as a duty.. It almost sounds like a comparison to some Drow societies in the Forgotten Realms worlds. As in, a matriarchal society in which males are rarely viewed as anything more than breeding stock. A female wants children, she goes to the Nunh and has children. This would put the Nunh into a position similar to a desk clerk at a sperm bank.
Now, my reasoning for why other males would want this position... Consider it as any other job. There's a position open at Location, so person A and B apply. The one with the best attributes gets the job.. It'd be a similar situation. Miqo'te A is a Nunh, meaning he's treated to a relative life of luxury.. Afterall, the females would want their breeding stock to be well taken care of.Â
I hope that all makes sense. Basically, all I'm doing, is shifting the 'duty' from the female to the male.
Edit: After posting, I scrolled up to finish reading Spiritual's post.. And find that he stated most of what I did, better than what I did. +1 to you! ^.^
