It's kind of weird how the game handles it.
On one side, we have two out of the three military leaders of Eorzea being women, with the one who isn't having to answer to one hierarchically. All are shown to be competent at their jobs and doing the best they can with a bad situation. We also have several women portrayed in what would be, in our society, typically "male" jobs and SOMEWHAT vice-versa (Jandelaine, although stylists being male and effeminate is definitely not a subversion by any means, same with the dance instructor).
On the other side, there's the unmentionable implications that seem to only occur to women across the main scenario as though it could never happen to men, or if it happened to men the rating would go up so it cannot happen to them for out of story considerations. And the fact that all dancers in Ul'dah/Costa del Sol are women.
I guess we can extrapolate that bad stuff still happens to women exclusively but people make less of a fuss about women in various roles.
