Technically, two cross-fertilizing female organisms would accomplish double the results.
Which makes me wonder, with this hypothesis in context, are males only a genetic carrier and nothing else?
Technically, two organisms that can cross fertilized would be called hermophrodites, not females, and there are many examples of such organisms in different kingdoms of life.
However, there are drawbacks to the hermophrodites solution because that make it difficult for the two collaborating organisms to specialize in roles or pursue different mating strategies.

Which is why it is so important you humans figure out how to do itCutting down on the male population could only be a good thing
If you like to enjoy impotence as well as yeast infection, then I say you've got the makings hermophrodites.
