Here's a question: Nunh are breeding males. Tia aren't. Would it be possible that women and Tia are traditionally allowed to have as much sex as they want just as long as they don't breed/have children? 'Cause there's probably birth control herbs that haven't been used to extinction around somewhere. Yeah, I'm theorizing about loopholes due to word choice, but it would be interesting if this was the case.
By the way, I cannot see a Nunh offing any other male's children by way of tradition (maybe individual nunhs are abusive enough, but not regular society allows it). That's a pretty big part of humanity, and while parents have killed children to get ahead/belief that the child is better off dead, I cannot see it in Miqo'te. Particularly since one of the most maternal women in the series is a Seeker of the Sun (F'lhaminn), and then there's how H'naanza will hold the hand of insecure, not particularly talented, students (granted, both are moon/sun mixes living in the city-states). But even in the Drake tribal life [which seems to have a male leadership to boot!] the Tias take turns raising their younger tribemates (even when they have drastically different opinions of how to go about it), which is unlikely in a sapient society that expects one of them to grow up and kill them, should they be too young to breed.
On the fanservice thing, I think S-E started out with making Moon Keepers matriarchal drows fanservice race, while making the Sun Seekers the patriarchal, Arabian Nights Fantasy harem fanservice thing. Then they realized the Unfortunate Implications and doctored the lore, but were still attached to it and therefore lore became disjointed (at this point, I see Moon Keepers as more wolfish [like, actual wolves and not pop-culture alpha-beta-omega wolves], and Sun Seekers lionish [some of the more obvious parallels], with a pinch of drow/harem thrown in, yet still essentially human).
In either case, even if they come from the same tribes, they seem to have a wide range of lifestyles (pirate/scholar from the Jaguars, Ul'dah's songstress/storm officers from the Bears, hot springs hostess?/pirate/customs agent? from the Antelopes), so I think that their morality/society would essentially be human, since they adapt so well to living with everyone else (also, we must consider that Miqo'te are welcomed by the other races, which would be unlikely if they practiced child-killings on a societal scale, or anything else that would remove them from humanity to a point that the other races become uncomfortable).
