There is probably something to literature being gendered. But claiming this is due to biology is hella weird.
This would seem to me incredibly difficult to prove or quantify in any meaningful way. Further complicated by the existence of editors.
There has to be market research in the publishing industry for stuff like that.
Presumably, but the publishing industry helps build the norms around what counts as "female literature" and "male literature" and how both are marketed/sold, so it would be pretty limited in terms of insight.
Sure and the outcome of this and other factors is gendered literature.
