It all makes me wonder if the writers would be bold enough to tell a story where viera society is dismantled and restructured in order to give the men a better deal. It kind of bothers me that they're willing to do stories involving the divide between the rich and the poor as well as pushing for drastic change in Garlemald, yet there's absolutely nothing in regards to the situation viera men face.

It'd be a great way to justify them being playable if they collectively decide to say 'screw it' to the status quo, especially if they find out that quite a few viera women are abandoning their duties to go off adventuring.

Though I suppose it's all wishful thinking. The writers play it very safe when it comes to certain plot elements.
