One paragraph stands out. It explains that the tribe's women "choose the men they want to breed with" and that some tribes "treat their man badly". It's jarring and it's not referred to again: indeed, it's later explained that Beast Hunter men and women are treated equally. So what's the intention? Perhaps it's intended to make the game less macho, more welcoming to women: but it reads as though someone's hijacked the text for political purposes.

I think the important distinction here is that the Beast Hunters are a small subset of the people within the greater Chel'qhuri tribal culture. The Chel'qhuri are matriarchal, and as in many ancient cultures, this means that those not of the dominant gender are often treated as being lesser. The Beast Hunters, however, are members of a small, hand-selected group within the Chel'qhuri, and within their ranks, all are equal regardless of gender.
