Wait, who said they were submissive? Or second class? Just because the ruler of the clan is a matriarch doesn't make them any less 'important' to the society. Keep in mind that females can also become Wood-wardens, not just males. The males just happen to be like 'Jedi/Sith' where they automatically go into the service of it. Kind of like how in some countries men have to serve the in the army - mandatory service.
The males as soon as they hit puberty are trained to be cold-blooded murderers/killers - most of the females are not as they get to decide if they pick up the mantle of a wood warden, lore has it that most of them don't. With that in mind, it's the males that are more than likely the physically stronger of the two - there's just a smaller population of them. And seeing as they're 'outside' of the community it could be hinted that the male wood-wardens who forsake community and clan do not report to the matriarch and instead only respond/submit to the wood. This would explain why they haven't left the wood as of now, constant contact with the wood spirit - not the matriarch.
Also the idea that you want to be a bunny boy because they're submissive and second class to you is rather, errrrrrrrrrmmmmm
Anyway, I like the idea of them being elegant, beautiful, slim and handsome. As long as there is a some sort of muscle/tone slider and the height isn't something that dips to something horrifically small I'll be happy. I'd prefer them to be around the same height as the females however, a tad smaller would also work - even if it means their ears are smaller.
As an add on; if the males were small and 'meek' then it makes no sense that it's the males that are sent out to be the first - and most of the time last line - of defence and not the more abundant female. If anything if the males are extremely rare as well as the 'weaker' gender then it would make sense that they should be the ones in the community being protected by the amazonian females and not vice versa.
