"I know GS will hate this but isn't Gloranthan cosmology patrarchal?"
Yes; which was part of my ulterior motivation for the Earth cult article that appeared in ToTRM#7 : I set myself the mischeivous aim of trying, within the contraints of the existing material (rather than taking the easy way out and ignoring it) to locate an agrarian utopia out of feminist fiction in Glorantha.
I'm also fairly certain that the Sazdorf trolls show a lot of post-hoc rationalisation as the reflex "King of the Trolls" that just tripped off the tongue had to be retrofitted to the dark=female assumption.
