Even if one does not take the use of mazriya( in Gen 1:11, 12 to imply that,
always, the one who does the hiphil zara(-ing supplies the zera(, Lev 12:2
still has the woman as the active agent of the zara(-ing, the "sowing," not
as a passive recipient of zera(.
It is definitely a strange usage here, which is what the Rabbis seem to have picked up on. I recall seeing an article (I think in BR) about women having seed.
