You know, it just occurd to me. This was an episode of 'Sliders'

First season (I think) 'Love Gods'

That's exactly what I thought, and as the Prof. wondered, why aren't they
using artificial insemination here too instead?

instead of 50-50 to ensure the safety of a matriarchal world culture.

Once people have power, they won't let go of it short of a revolution.

This is not even taking into account technological development in biotech

and fertility changing >the equation somehow

As I said, artifical insemination, you don't need the male, just his sperm.
I'm not sure, but is it possible to induce an egg cell to undergo
spontaenous division, without the presence of a sperm cell? With that, males
become redundant.

may be permanently matriarchal in nature.

The Amazons are gonna have a party over this!
