I think it is misleading to say that "the sex of the animalĀ“s offspring is decided by the male". It is decided by "the content of the male gamete forming the zygote", which, however may be chosen entirely by chance. One could even imagine a mechanism in which it is specifically controlled by the female, for that matter.
