Of course, one should also consider the fact that in this world, being smaller and thinner does not seem to have ANY impact on your physical capability. Male or female, Lalafell tanks can weather brutal strikes just as capably as the burliest Roegadyn, for instance. It's actually a bit odd that any culture would develop a stay-in-the-kitchen attitude toward women - but it is also odd that any culture would marry their horses, and yet there's another Au Ra tribe that does just that. I guess some people are just weird. :P
