My favorite odd-way-to-reproduce animals are the sequential hermaphrodites, particularly the fish who do protogyny. They are all female, until it's time to reproduce, then one changes into a male to fertilize the eggs. Ain't life mysterious and grand? As a lesbian, I'm terrified of this happening to me! I'll be with a hot lady and then BAM! She's a dude trying to impregnate me!

^Sounds like Ursula K. Le Guin's book The Left Hand of Darkness.

I bet you've had women who carped at you too much (oof) but nothing fishier than that. Now, you possibly could get pregnant from parthenogenesis, spontaneous self-cloning. You'd end up with another you. For myself, this is my idea of a real nightmare. I don't think I could stand myself in miniature.

Some years ago, The Hallowed Gene Roddenberry did a show that took place in the future and it was a totally matriarchal society. He had vision.
(I also blame Gene for cell phones: the first season's communicators look very similar to our flip-open cell phones -- and the iphone, blackberry smart phone is similar to Spock's Tricorder.)
