Just my own thoughts on what was and wasn't said in SGA. Everything was left very vague - McKay isn't sure about Wraith reproduction while Beckett was never really sure about how the feeding process works. I'm guessing TPTB didn't go into details so they weren't committed to anything in particular. This allowed them to add in whatever suited a future plot.
We saw the 'Spoils Of War' Queen secreting genetic material into pods and the end result was male masked warriors. There are two possibilities here -
1: Wraith have a haplodiploid sex-determination system.
2: A male Wraith was involved somewhere in the process of producing warriors - McKay didn't get the chance to learn how, though.
If there had been a 6th season TPTB could have decided on one or the other possibility if a plot required it.
