There's a book I accidentally stumbled upon in TVTropes that I think does a much better job at focusing on an all-male society than this... omegaverse crap. (Call me a kink-basher all you want, omegaverse will never be anything more than seriously disturbing to me, and I've done all kinds of degenerate kinky fandom shit before.)

I can't remember the name for the life of me but it's part of a series. A few extremist men established a planet of their own where women are basically mythological beasts. It progressed to the point where those born there don't even really believe they exist. They reproduce by using an egg bank that they constructed (the problem in the novel is that they're running low and need more), and families are built on an interestingly homosexual dynamic. The sexuality of the people living there seems homosexual by default but apparently it's stressed a few times that not all the men are necessarily homosexual. (My favorite part was the facial hair rite of passage: when a man is going to be "having" a child, he usually grows a beard to signify his maturation into a family with his partner.)

If I remember to, I'll try to dig up the name of the book again. I want to read it, or write fic based on such a universe.

Here we go: "In Lois McMaster Bujold's Ethan of Athos (part of the Vorkosigan Saga) we get Athos, an all male colony. The plot kicks off because there are problems with the (repeatedly cloned) ova they have to import to allow the males to reproduce."
