Artifical insemination is not a preferred method. One it is a static gene source and two is vunerable to power outages.
1:100 males to females still is a lot of males (80 Million odd today).
But I envison stud farms with multiple males. There are male kids raised, and those deemed desireable are put in the mating stock. A male is fertile/healthy for about 20 years. So a typical farm has a total of 200 males all ages supporting a community of 20,000 females. There are maybe 30-40 breedable males at any given time. But the local girls to not mate with them. The locals mate with other communities males and other communities come to them. This would be like the common practice of females/males always marrying out of the clan etc. Non-breedable males are given other menial jobs.
So if a female is willing to travel she could visit numerous studs until she finds a desireable mate. Even out of the country, or whatever women come up with as political domains. (Maybe covens.
) The males have no say and must comply.
Not the prettiest picture, but feasible I think.

That sounds awful...I hope none of you here are actually supporting the idea we reduce the existence of males to being enslaved on sperm farms. It's certainly feasible but I doubt it would be a healthy direction to move in.

Idk. Since females have to pay to use the stud, having the best stud, or I should say most popular ones would be big earners. I think its safe to assume the stock would not be mistreated. More like pampered pets really. The various studs might also use selected breeding to specialize in a certain type (like dog breeds). One's specialty would be tall thin fellows, another, short husky ones, etc. And since a man takes 48-72 hours to fully recharge, he only has to actually work a few hours twice a week. There would be a mandatory regular exercise schedule of course, but altogether your looking at a 20 hour week, or less. But oh, I forgot. They are also required to set up and maintain a social network presence, to advertise. So make it a 25 hour week. Can't beat that in France even.
This all just a theoretical exercise however, to answer the question 'What is the minimum requirement of males to maintain a stable (female based) society. And yes, farcical.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that people need a "partner" much more than they need a man or a woman. Someone to help with housework, bring in money, help raise any kids one might have, help make day-to-day decisions and run errands, and provide dependable and loyal companionship. Either gender can fulfill those roles. The only reason to prefer one gender over the other is sexual preference. So the only thing men (and women) are specifically good for is sex.
I don't know if that is true. I could use a Hunny to do house stuff like my friend Mary has - her husband put in new countertops, new shower, new flooring, new ceiling tiles and ceiling fan, he gets the truck cleaned and fixed, does the grocery shopping and takes out the trash. My brother calls him the "hired help".
She'd probably make him mow the lawn too, but we've got a lawn boy who uses a Lawn-Boy mower.

Installing squares on the ceiling is tough when you are 5' 2" and 110 lbs but I managed that.
I also installed a slide in range that was too big for the existing hole--but I managed that as well.
The ceiling fan was pretty easy--and the master electrician who looked it over said I did a great job. 
Fact is, you don't really need to be big and strong to do household renovations.

And I could use my hard to reach lightbulbs changed - like I'm sure that Mary's husband does.
