It's really simple. You could just ask the dev to clarify, really, if it bothers you that much that he put it beneath the Keeper of the Moon header. (I recommend this.)

The word race in XIV, as Rhostel pointed out, does not have the same meaning as it does to us IRL. Races IRL are like XIV's clan system, more than anything.

But this is how it works in XIV:

RACE: main distinguishing features
CLAN: smaller distinguishing features, difference in cultural norms

Ex:
RACE: Miqo'te
CLAN: Keeper of the Moon / Seeker of the Sun

RACE: Hyur
CLAN: Midlander / Highlander

RACE: Lalafell
CLAN: Plainsfolk / Dunesfolk

RACE: Elezen
CLAN: Duskwight / Wildwood

RACE: Roegadyn
CLAN: Sea Wolves / Hellsguard

The dev said "race," therefore it applies to both clans of the Miqo'te race. It is also supported by an NPC in 1.0 who when talking about Miqo'te said that the males were a rare sight, making it hard to study them. It makes plenty of sense too, that males would be rare in both clans, as Rhostel explained.

If the dev meant to say clan, and changes it to that, great, Seekers will have more. But until then or we see different explanation in ARR, it is silly to keep debating over one clan having more males than another based on the possibility of a typo, isn't it? The fact that we're going to have more males than SE's distribution of the races/clans/genders in the player character community in general still remains and needs to be accepted by RPers as just how it is. Miqo'te in general are not supposed to make up much of the population of Eorzea, but every other RPer you run into will be a Miqo'te.
