Bit of a tangent here:
You haven't seen L'yhta complain about how Keeper men are all abused and oppressed, how both clans' traditions are barbaric and uncivilized, and how miqo'te women should stop being "kittens" who work on their backs instead of on their feet.
In all seriousness, though, it's true that most of backlash is aimed at Seekers, since the potential squick factor of their society is higher than that of Keepers (to those of us in Western culture). I've only run into one other miqo'te IC who opposed all tribal culture; most seem to just have no opinion on it while knowing about it, which I think is a little off. IMO, once a miqo'te is familiar with their culture, I can't really see them being purely indifferent to it.
