Well, in canonical Glorantha, males are specifically not ruled out. The broo larva does not need a womb just somewhere to root and draw blood and other nourishment from. I once had a group of players who were infested with broo larvae and had to find the missing deity who could both safely deliver the children and cleanse them of their chaos taint. (Turned out to be Firshala from the original Griffin Mountain....)

They then had to find one of the tiny nests of non-chaotic broo to bring the children up in. But that's another story.

And while nothing is totally impossible to Chaos I'd imagine the broken glass broo is very much one of a kind.
