Historically speaking how did literature go from being a male dominated industry to being dominated by women and queers?

They stopped letting college professors fuck their students.
It was already pretty low paying and when they took away the one fringe benefit men fucked off to writing for Hollywood or video games

Read Euripedes Bacchae in the context of the feminisation of white collar professions across the 20th century. Particularly the effeminisation of Engineering. Engineers have been t-girls since the 1940s when military industrial states forced them to work for salaries (ie: wages in a Marxist sense).

Men decided that reading was for faggots, so they stopped reading, which meant fewer male writers/editors/publishers in the pipeline. This is 80 to 90% of the issue in one sentence, and anyone who doesn't acknowledge this as the root cause doesn't know what they're talking about

Harry Potter is my best guess. While it was made for children, a lot of them would eventually become manchildren.
After that, companies realized they could make millions from a sector that is dumber than average, with no quality standards, that consumes for the sake of being fashionable and who is easy to manipulate, all while feeding them the idea that reading makes them smart.

I suppose because more women read the mass produced junk that industry has been putting out, so more of them got into it. Once that happened, it is likely that women in all their vindictive simplicity bent every effort towards privileging their own kind and excluding male writers.

In that industry there is no regard for quality, an 'author' is chosen largely for their identity, then the drivel they turn in (based on a committee written brief) is entirely re-written by that same committee of corporate drones before being released under that individual's name.

Literature has never been an industry dominated by men. Prior to the 1930s literature wasn't an industry, it was a craft based side effect of the capitalisation of other spheres of life. Literature, like sugar or cotton came into the world as a fully formed womanised commodity. To be a commodity, including being wage labour, is to have been forcibly womanized by the capitalist commodity system. Literature, as an industry, came into being as a bitch.

The only non-feminised literature in industrial literary production was Soviet science fiction. It was post-gender.

Boys like to write. It messes with their brains, tingles it etc.
The more recent thing you call "women domination" is a CIA psyops.
Stop making such terrible threads.

This is true and the ones who are in publishing now are the kind who grew up with and maintain a mostly female friend group

Bourgeois self-loathing.
Believe it or not, there was a time when the middle class were conservatives. Then they learned to hate themselves and became radicals, determined to destroy their own society and culture.
