Using pollen from hermied FEMINEZED plant ?

Relatively straight forward question ! If I had feminized plants growing and one or more hermied would the pollen obtained be of any possible use ? Would using this pollen on another regular female, A. bring the hermaphroditism out more? B . would this pollen be even more likely to produce females when used on a regular female . Or C. create regular feminized seeds that are usable? . D. No viability? Just wondering if anybody had any insight into this . I'm sure If I sat down and got all genomic then I'd come to an answer I'm satisfied with . I say A . But at first I thought B ....

Pollen from a herm plant is able to pollinate other plants growing nearby. The seeds created will pass on hermie prone genetics to the offspring.

That's what I thought . But at the same time how are feminized seeds created ? Using pollen that has come from a hermaphrodite plant . I agree that a plant growing under perfect conditions that turns into a herm is likely to pass not be trait most dominantly . But what if techniques were used to FORCE feminized seed to show male characteristics . Is there no way this pollen could be useful ? Anyone with a lot of breeding knowledge have an opinion ?

Yep, they would most likely be highly susceptible to herm.

That is not true. They would be as susceptible to produce male flowers as the parents were.

That is not true.
The production of feminized plants does not include males, so they by definition can not be hermaphrodites.
Any female cannabis plant has the ability to produce male flowers.

No hermaphrodites are used in the production of feminized seeds.
Usually using a female plant that is sprayed with colloidal silver to trick the plant into activating hormones that make the plant produce male flowers on the affected area. That pollen does not have any "hermie trait" or "hermie gene" in it. It is a pure female.
