No reason there cannot be more. Honestly, given what we know of the Lore, I'm almost surprised there -aren't- more Matriarchal societies. I mean, everyone more or less acknowledges the -MOTHER-crystal (Hydaelyn) as a supreme benevolent being. Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania all have female leaders. The previous leader of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn was a woman (Minfilia) and there hasn't been a replacement since she was lost, and it was a woman (Minfilia again) who was chosen as the, 'Voice of the Mother.' Lyse is moving into position to end up leading Ala Mhigo in the coming expansion.

The number of wise/benevolent rulers and deities who are female far outstrips the male counterpart. Why there aren't more matriarchal cultures is a bit of a mystery considering how it obviously -works- to have women in charge.
