As near as I can figure it, the same Remergion pattern image appears in the gems of all of the Simoun in the choir.

You're mistaking men for women. The entire voice acting cast is female, so men are voiced by female voice actors. In particular, Guragief (the dux of the Simoun choirs aboard Arcus Prima), Anubituf (the captain), and Wapourif (the maintenance chief) are all male. Wapourif in particular looks especially female, as he only went to the Spring two years ago, so he hasn't fully reabsorbed his breasts yet.
So how, if I trust the translation, do the adult men enjoy greater vocational flexibility?
By holding down important jobs: military commands, police, government administration, et cetera. The reason isn't sexism, but an attempt to try to entice enough people to be male to get society to something approximating parity between the genders.

The fansub translation is pretty bad. "Craftsman Nation" (i.e. Argentum, the bad guys with the zepplins and propeller-driven fighters) or Shoukoku is really supposed to be "Reef Nation" in literal translation. "Imperial Nation" or Kyuukoku is really supposed to be "Shrine Nation".
In other words, the war is between the Theocracy of Simulacrum and the island nation of Argentum. (There's also a "ridge nation" that shows up later: the mountain nation of Plumbum.)

(Now here's hoping it doesn't get licensed before we've finished it. (The day afterwards would, of course, be wonderful.))
