This isn't too new an idea, and yes, there are stories about it.  Check out
The Female Man by Joanna Russ.  Also, "Houston, Houston, ..." (erp, here I am
again, typing without my library with toe's reach) by James Tiptree, Jr who 
we know is really Dr. A. Sheldon, although this one may not give you a good
idea about what the society is like.
