Feminized seeds simply dont have a male doner for pollen, they have a female doner. So theres no male chromosomes to pass on, thus no males. With feminized seeds you are simply using a female, making her throw male flowers, and pollinating something with them.
I'm no breeder, but I would think it's pretty cool knowing what your using for pollen beforehand, as opposed to a male which outside of plant and bud structure, presence of trichomes, stem rub smell, etc, is a crap shoot. Pretty cool that you can take two different phenos of the same strain and cross, as well as making new hybrids/poly-hybrids. I guess there could be prize females, not so much for their smoke as their use as pollen producers, similar to that male you keep around?
