It appears like most of the leaders in the world are female. While the Syndicate has "true" power in Ul'dah they still have to play with the Sultana currently. Or the sultanate, but we'll use Sultana because she's not dead and LONG LIVE NANAMO.

Ahem.
I don't know too much about the other races' lores, but both Miqo'te cultures seem much more matriarchal.
Nevermind that the current Gladiator Guild leader is a female. Or that the current leader of the Scions is female... the leaders of Maelstrom and Twin Adders are female... They had male characters that easily could have taken those places.
Is this because of a culture where females are seen as more leader types? No that's not my point. In fact, I think it's just Eorzea's willingness to have females be leaders. It's not something of an except where "Oh she's going to be the first President!" but "ok she has done these things over all those other people". Merit over novelty.
