Unfortunately that is a very non-Biblical view. Women are considered to
have seed. See Leviticus 12:2.
"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean." '
mshulman,
Lev. 12:2 does not support that a woman has a seed, it supports that she has conceived seed from a male and has become preg. That means the little swimmer has found an egg and she has become with child. There was still a man present here.

If one interprets when translating one can make a verse mean anything. The word 'conceive' is not there. The problem of the language implying the female having 'seed' led to a number of interesting comments by the Rabbis.
