ok, since you want to speak of reality, let talk of it, a women with the build of a miqo'te will not wear the same armor than a women roe, since this two race are extremely different in them body.
the miqote is more swift and slim than the roe girl... same between men and women. but here, we do wear the same armor!
i do remember the picture of the full noct on a miqo'te male and women side by side, exept the head.... they look exactly the same! our character become a man... when they are more slim and atheltic in the build... why can't we have armor adapted to our body?

and yes i was talking of the pauldron early, some pauldron bug violently when you run on the miqote or are too big for her.
