It is extremely unlikely that female stem cells (assuming you could take stem cells from an adult person and do the same thing - which is very unlikely for a variety of reasons) could do the same thing because the Y chromosome almost certainly contains necessary information for differentiating in to sperm cells, and women lack the Y chromosome.
