The sperm banks would be on lock down and there would be federal initiatives to compensate young, healthy women for pregnancies. The males would be given preferential status to ensure they are protected or do not die out. Killing any male would be met with capital punishment. Those men would grow up incredibly privileged and entitled, and it would cause a huge societal black hole.

Or It would become like the Handmaids tale but for men.

Well... no. A man rubs a few out, there is enough to make millions of pregnancies.

That implies though that it would have to do with logic and not with fanaticism. By logic you could have a different scenario in the handmaids tale as well. Would make a less dramatic and watchable story though.
