Perhaps it implies that women are in a situation where they are de - evolving or taking a step back in the context of men - centered stories. For example, if in a story - telling tradition, women are usually portrayed in a certain way in relation to men, and now they are re - assessing those portrayals and it seems like a regression in the sense of going back to older, perhaps less - favorable ways of being depicted in those men - related stories.
Well, it might be that women are somehow reverting or going back to previous understandings or interpretations of stories that involve men. This could be due to various factors such as a resurgence of traditional values in storytelling, or a re - evaluation of classic literature where male - female dynamics are a central part of the plot. In some cases, it could also mean that women are losing ground in how they are represented in men - centric stories compared to more progressive portrayals in recent times.
