So I had an odd thought while I was resting from a headache; not actually taking a shower, lol. Whenever SE adds a new job, they show us the "newest" WoL artwork for said job, but almost all of the artwork depicting the Disciples of Magic WoL are female, even the initial classes.
The only "confirmed" male is the Summoner, with possibly the Thaumaturge Lala being male as well. But Conjurer, White Mage, Black Mage, Arcanist, Scholar, Astrologian, Red Mage, and Blue Mage are all depicted as female. It's just an odd thought once you think about it.
Also, to clarify, since I know people will express doubt. We know the BLM is female based on two seperate comments Koji Fox made regarding the original WoL in the ARR trailers and the WoD seen in HW.
Additionally, to see how the other artworks stack up for DoW,
Male: Gladiator, Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight, Gunbreaker, Dragoon, Pugilist, Ninja, Archer, Machinist, Samurai (SAM is debatable too, but the general consensus is it's a male)
Female: Marauder, Lancer, Monk, Rogue, Bard, Dancer
There are more males but it seems a bit more balanced.
Ultimately, none of this really matters, it's just an odd thought that I wanted to share.
