The industry was still talking about "getting more women into publishing" when it was already conspicuously majority-female, and female readers are very well catered for. So if trad pub thinks men don't read, any sane business would ask why, see a neglected, untapped market up for grabs, and go for it. I estimate at least 85% of my readers are male – men and boys will buy books even by female authors if you write what they want to read and address the issues that resonate with them. A feminised industry develops all the behaviours we see in feminised politics, and publishing is the perfect environment for things to become toxic because it's already a classic supplicant and gatekeeper system. But longhouse culture does female authors no favours either. If trad publishing survives in its current form, the return of men both as authors and publishing pros will be healthier for everyone. But I suspect many won't want to once they've gone indie and seen the up side.
