Men will never become obsolete, because women will still think they need men to reproduce, if women "evolved" into not having emotions for men, then we would be fucked, but hey, we invented nukes.
This^
Deep down, altough many females would deny it, they would rather live in a world that is inhabited by men, as long as they have emotions for us males, we are fine.
I mean, imagine the alternative, a world populated by women, only women.... It will be like men on ships, who have spent long amounts of time at sea without seeing a single women- And we all know the sort of reputation of the Navy has. Well could the same happen to women? hmm... If that be the case, the last man born on Earth, as long as he is straight, will be a happy man, a very happy man. I would envy him. XD
This ladies, is why men will never be redundant. Deep down, you know its true.

I wonder how long it will be before we make artificial wombs and artificial ovaries so both genders will be biologically obsolete.
^this is a good point as well, we can almost make artifical organs, so in a couple of decades artifical ovaries and wombs could be made- and then both genders are obselete.
Back into serious mode, artifical sperm is great news for infertile males- this technology is a good thing, its an other scientific breakthrough which will benifit humanity.
And do not worry about population, as others have pointed out, the western world produces more than enough food for itself. For instance in Europe, we tried increasing agricultural productivity, only to find out farmers over-produced, and huge mountains of food where left to rot. So, many European farms do not work at full capacity- they don't need to. Same goes for the farms of many other developed nations. Furthermore, the population growth in the developed world is minminal, in some countries such as Japan and Germany the population growth is negative.
In Africa over-population has been a problem for decades, what simply happens is that when there is not enough food to go around, people starve to death, and a equilbium is restored. Africa is trapped in a vicious circle, and Africa needs help to modernise in order to break this cycle.
