I can't see that being the case. Kallyr led a rebellion. As you say, they have Jar-Eel currently, and others in the past all the way back to the Goddess herself as examples. I don't think the Lunars underestimate women. Even if you think the overlords have a heavy Tarshite bent (more than just Lunar), Tarsh has a long tradition of powerful women.
Can't see it being the case, myself.
