I think your response illustrates how it's not really clear cut better than I could, so I'd think that it's on topic enough (and the less sexist Stormcloaks headcanon makes sense to me. I have to admit I haven't really paid attention to the guards beyond "that's the thousandth time I heard that,", so I didn't notice the division. That can't be an accident.)

It's probably happened.

Yeah, the Imperials had a few higher ranking named female soldiers, like the woman who wants to behead you at the beginning of the game. But as far as "town soldiers", none. I tried to look up why, but there was nothing. I just actively noticed the female guards on the Stormcloak side because I was impressed that the game did include them there, and with the same armor (no sexy alternative) and everything.

I ended up downloading a mod that diversified the guards, added female Imperial guards and stuff.

Maybe, if the imperials are sexist, those women who manage to get past the perceptions are always so strong they are 'distinguished'... I really can't guess the implications of that.

It's a funny thing though, I heard once that in Imperials, the women and men have the smallest difference in their base stats, and it was taken as evidence that the they weren't as forced into different roles in Imperial culture...
