All creative works, but especially science fiction and fantasy, are really a commentary on the social, economic, political and cultural issues of the time in which they were created. Additionally, XIV is not a historical fiction title, so SE has absoluely no obligation to abide by reality by any stretch of the imagination.
We're playing magic-slinging cat people and you're concerned that there isn't a large degree of "historically-accurate" sexism? Dafuq are you on about?
And lastly, you sound awfully bitter that all the important NPCs aren't all male. Poor widdle baby! Is your pwecious mascuwinity damaged? Boo-fucking-hoo, cry me a goddamned river. "Respect" the lore if you want to or not (I usually facepalm about it because it's pretty C-list writing), but your reasoning strikes me as being really fucking pathetic and butthurt that your fantasy NPC leaders aren't rocking out with their cocks out.
(Oh, and clearly you didn't play 1.0; Roes and Highlanders were the male-only races back then, and there was no male miqo'te option either. They added female options for both as well as the male option for both miqo'te subraces.)
