Plausibility and ramifications of a mammal with both rut cycles and induced ovulation?

A hypothetical mammal has developed an unusual reproductive cycle. The females normally ovulate upon experiencing orgasm, whereas the males only display sperm production and heightened sex drive during a periodic rut. In other words, a reversal of our familiar male/female patterns.
How plausible is this to evolve naturally and what effect would it have on the species' behavior and social structure if any?
