Thoughts that I don't want to expand on just yet

Minotaurs can eat grass, but they don't like to. As a culture, they're very concerned with being perceived as people rather than animals, because of their physical resemblance to animals. Given the way other "sub-people" are enslaved, it's a reasonable fear. Thus, they tend to avoid any behavior that makes them seem animalistic, playing up their contributions to refined arts and culture instead. To antagonize a minotaur, give them hay to eat, or make them touch the ground with their hands and feet, or make cow jokes.

Institutional sexism is not absent from the world of Age of Sail, but it takes different forms with different racial cultures. For instance, dragonborn females are actually physically larger, more powerful, and more aggressive on average than dragonborn males. However, they do not hold much social privilege, as the males characterize them as overly emotional brutes who are incapable of making levelheaded decisions. Dwarf men record their adult deeds in their beards through a code of braids and ribbons; as dwarf women do not have a distinct form of visible hair that begins growing on the threshold to adulthood, some dwarves consider them to never truly grow up. Halfling men and women each have their own body of lore which is taboo to share with the opposite sex. Goliath women of strong lineage are obligate xenophiles, and many who do not know better think them a race of women as the men rarely leave the villages where they were born. Eladrin have considerably longer lifespans than most other races, and can suspend a career for a decade or two to raise a child before returning to their callings.

As a general rule, for races that have human-like lifespans and pregnancies, families are expected to be large and a married woman is expected to bear and raise children, but this does not exclude them from the burgeoning number of professions that do not require constant hard physical labor. As a simple practical matter, it has already been proven repeatedly that societies which fail to tap the potential of both men and women get run over roughshod by societies with war witches.
