Interesting society. I like it. Definitely develop this even if it's just for your own sake. It will probably aid you in Calla, Devin and Wes' characterization. They will have had very different experiences growing up.
How do Devin and Wes each feel about that way of life. You said they didn't like their jobs (does that come up later because I totally want to know what they were), but since they are guys they wouldn't have had the oppression like Calla. Do they feel that was unfair to girls or are they so indoctrinated by the society that they see her as second class? Or did they used to think that way but over the years of being in sidea they've changed their minds and feel bad for what Calla has gone through? Were they ever matched by their parents in an arranged marriage? You mentioned that was another thing Wes hated (the social constricts of relationships) for obvious reasons. Being forced into an arranged marriage with a girl would be a very good reason for him to want to leave sideb.
