> they reproduce via gynogenesis, it's like pathogenesis
That's an interesting choice of word construction.
parthenogenesis -> virgin birth.
gynecogenesis -> woman birth.
[gynogenesis is an impossible form, and pathogenesis would refer to "disease birth"]
I can see how "virgin birth" is distinctive compared to ordinary birth. How is "woman birth" supposed to be different? Are people not normally born from... women?
- dvh 2y agopathogenesis was spellcheck error (I meant parthenogenesis) and gynogenesis is real https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynogenesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynogenesis

But in either case, yes; however, males are usually involved. In this case, it's woman exclusive. They simply use sperm to stimulate the urge to procreate/kick off the process. Thus, the need for other species to be spawning nearby.
