I think it's also important when considering Sten's opinion about a female Warden, that Sten does acknowledge that other cultures do have other opinions as to gender roles. He knows that, for Fereldens (or whoever), it's possible to consider oneself both a woman and a fighter. It's just that those opinions are wrong (at least as far as Sten is concerned). He's not a Tamassran, he's not there to explain the finer details of why a woman warrior must not be allowed, he's just giving the short version (because the short version is what he prefers in most cases anyway).
It's also important to note, I think that a female Warden, and, for that matter, Krem, are essentially Viddathari (maybe they aren't yet, but from the Qunari perspective, they will be when the Qun "inevitably" conquers the south), and the Qunari aren't big on wasting resources. If someone's talents lie in fighting, it's easier to treat the converts as culturally male then to try and teach them entirely new skills. However, for those born into the Qun, I would suspect the Tamassrans simply don't give them a chance to develop or learn any skills that don't fit their birth-assigned gender roles.
