Miqo'te Male/Female Relations and Views on Marriage

[Naria]

Considering that we've only seen one male Keeper npc, it certainly makes interesting speculation as to why there are suddenly male Keeper adventurers. Perhaps the Calamity resulted in a large amount of Keeper female deaths, and as a result males now have greater freedom to take on traditional female roles? I wonder if there will be a Keeper "Masculinist" movement in the future?

Edit:

I think Miqo'te due to their gender inequality don't really care for marriage as we view it (monogamous view on marriage)

I agree, but that doesn't rule out bigamy, after all with so few males, knowing who fathered who would be very important to avoid incest and inbreeding.

Edit 2: Or perhaps Keepers have some sort of "walking marriage". Bah I need to stop speculating and go to sleep.

I think the change in 'scarcity' of Male Keeper adventurer's is more to due with how Gridania views the Keeper Tribes (as they generally live in The Black Shroud) since The Calamity, Gridania has had more of a focus on the forest then the tribes giving them a bit more freedom then they used to have (if they were constantly hard-pressed by the overzealous Gridanians, yes I do view them as overzealous, but I think that may be my heritage talking ~Nyaa)

it's polygamy they would be more attuned to, I doubt they would have a preference to just two wives

. . . it's polygamy they would be more attuned to, I doubt they would have a preference to just two wives

True it was polygamy I was thinking of, see above reference to lack of sleep.

If you go into the shop building in Drybone, there is a Moonie and Elezen couple shopping around.

I thought that couple was a Seeker and an Elezen, but I'll take a closer look next time I log in.
