Why do people sell feminized seeds? they are hermaphrodites

I am just in the middle of flowering my second feminised gene called sharkesbreathe, from attitude seedbank by DNA Genetics. Both of the plants that were feminised are grown separate and as a test. I found that within 3 weeks you grow female flowers and MALE!! so they are therefore NOT FEM! I am confused why people would want to buy this? It's not Sensimilla; why on gods green earth would someone sell this crap? and in mass quantities? i will post pictures of the HERMS when i'm done flowering. They look beautiful besides the bananas and a few leaves that are deformed due to INSEST! DO NOT BUY FEM seeds!! WARNING.

Vancouver Island Seed Company has an excellent review on Fem seeds, or as they call it "Breeding With HERMAN". VISC does not carry any Fem (Herm) genetics.

Feminized seeds is tinkering with the DNA of a plant. Humans have not mastered that. Humans are just learning about stem cells.
We are trying to play GOD with a living organism. Hell, I am surprised that auto's actually work as well as they do as that sure as hell isn't natural.
Some breeders get some right and most wrong. The thing is they don't know until someone tried to grow it and with our reports of what works or doesn't work...We are providing free research and development.
I would rather grow 5-10 normal seeds in hope of getting a few normal females.

At first I thought about buying fems, but then I heard so many stories about turning to herms. I figured that the fems could turn out to be all fems yet if any stress was brought on to them they would turn into herms. So if anybody was growing fems they either had to be real fucking pro with like 5% or less of messing up or have a lot of good luck. So I dicided to buy regular and take my chances.

I haven't had experience with DNA seeds but the problem may not be the feminization. Some seed companies are just better than others, with fewer hermies and generally better genetics. We've used Sensi Seeds, Paradise and THSeeds and never once had a hermaphrodite. We use regular seeds but not because of any bad experiences with feminized.

my first grow was 3 bagseeds. 2 hermied, probably stress induced (i sucked).

this last grow was 3 fem Nirvana BlackJacks and not a single male flower popped once. Beautiful buds, great stone, fruity scent, decent yield (if i were better it could have been a GREAT yield), and i didn't have to deal with extra plants in my limited space for my grow. i have room for 3-4 and that's it, going through germ and veg of 5 seeds to find only 2 girls sucks. so does getting 5 girls out of 5 seeds and needing to kill 1 or 2 just because i don't have the space. that's why i get fem.

i would bet if your fems are hermi'n on you, and they are from a reputable company (i have no opinion on DNA, i have obviously not used them) its environment is probably inducing it.
