They do acknowledge your strength in the end, but they admit that they wouldn't accept you as one of their own because you're a woman. Because that's how it's always been for them. It's not sexism for the sake of sexism, it has a lore reasoning.I have to come at you for this because FFXIV's complete and utter lack of "ladies are weaker by nature" sexism in any form of the game was always a conscious decision in writing and portrayal that I've greatly appreciated.
Adding that to a game that's established so many powerful female characters, both heroic and villainous, only to start peppering in gross, sexist dialogue of that ilk now would be mind-numbing at best and a disservice to what's been established by the creative.
TLDR: Keep that frail gender garbage in the garbage where it belongs.
Yep. The NPCs involved act this way and provided these Male and Female unique dialogues because it is their culture. It embrace the actual lore of these NPCs and do no shy away from what it has been established what their culture is like which for these bunch of NPCs is a Male dominant culture as the lore stated for these NPCs.
It is actually quite reminiscent of what life was like for cultures that currently or once live as Tribes such as Native Americans. The male were chosen to grow up to be warriors for fighting other tirbes and hunting large game and the females were grown to perform gathering and cooking. It split the task required for their culture and was a normal thing for them as keeping the female safe away from the fighting was important since the females are the ones who give birth to children. Of course this is also why it leads to their different beliefs between males and females but also showed that female life was more valued than a male since if all females died in a tribe then the Tribe is garantee to be wiped out even if some males survived if not from being killed then simply over time.
