    the question is how low would the percentage of men have to get before women would value them. I'm afraid it might be zero

    When women get scare men want them more but I think if men were irrelevant to the functioning of the society women would lose interest altogether. It is not at all clear that a male body is intrinsically compellingly interesting to women simply because it is a male body (and mind). Unlike the case with male interest in females. I do hear though that in womens prisons the most sought after dykes are those who are the most indistinguishable form men so maybe the situation is not as hopeless as it appears.
