I would venture to guess that Keeper males would be just as rare as Seeker males, and the family Matriarchs would rather the males stay home and take care of the family. Do all the cooking and whatnot.
At that point it's more speculation.
The statement that Miqo'te males are rare is in fact only found /under/ the Keeper of the Moon heading. It was only after ARR launched that we were able to confirm for sure that Seeker males were rare.
It's very easy for Keeper males to be out and about in the world. Keepers are loners by nature, do not have a hierarchy that determines breeding status, and have recently been forced to move into the cities, along with many other refugees. It's possible that breeding males are forced to stay home, under matriarchal rule, but that's why I killed Li's tribe off. I don't want to be in a messy situation when we finally get more lore.
You killed a whole tribe just to avoid dealing with aligning the lore you established for them with canon? With my Li I had get forced out do to his village's matriarch, and most of the elders, being extremely anti-magic, something that the Calamity only amplified. On the subject of so many maleqo'te, like the other Li I just pretend non-roleplayer PCs don't exist.
Not the entire tribe, just the people who kept it together. And not only to avoid problems with lore later on, I also did it because the adventuring life is a difficult one, full of danger. From a rational standpoint if a person has a stable life, with people to look after and in turn look after them, then they have little reason to risk that life with adventuring.
Honestly if you have a stable happy life there is no reason to assume the role of adventurer, at all. How many people do you know in real life that have abandoned their comforts for the road (and no, camping trips and hiking don't count)? Zero.
