Matriarchal societies and Keepers of the Moon

[Velox]

You can't look at Miqo'te life through human eyes or with human resonimg because it is a design alien to humans. For Keepers, there is no such thing as a "father" in a child's life. In fact, children probably never know who their blood-father ever is. Part of this is due to the obscure male:female ratio of Miqo'te genetics, but part may also have to do with male personality types. Given that the few males we do know endes up as villains, it's likely males aren't genetically designed to be the "caring" type. In fact, they probably are either extremely indifferent towards their fellow Miq'te, or may even be prone to aggression (also supports why females prefer to run the family). Males may also know this and acknowledge their genetic makers that make them prone to aggressive tendencies, and voluntarily isolate themselves for the good of society.

This has been brought up before, but even the possibly-part-cat Miqo'te are considered "human" in Eorzea, so trying to use "they're not human" as the basis for an argument doesn't really work. (It's an interesting interpretation aside from that, though.)
