Of course, much of this segregation is broken down in Eorzea, probably due to progression - Merlwyb becoming Admiral may have even had an impact.

But if the cat-boys have been the supporting gender for so long, it would make no sense for them to be more powerfully built than the female, else history would have probably run a different course.

Lithe and slender makes purfect sense for the male Miquo'te.
Have you heard of a lion pride? Lion females do all the work but the males are still much larger and stronger. In all wild species of cats the males are larger than the females. I would like themale miqo'te to be like lions or tigers where the males are larger and muscular.
