Can you give some examples of 'women regressing men stories'?
Consider action - adventure stories that are being remade. If in the original, there was a bit of progress in how women were portrayed alongside men, but in the remake, the women are now just damsels in distress waiting for the male heroes to save them. This regression in the way women are shown in relation to men in these types of stories is an example of what 'women regressing men stories' could refer to.
One example could be in period dramas where women are once again being depicted as secondary to men, as was common in older times. For instance, if a new adaptation of a classic novel shows the female characters mainly concerned with pleasing the male characters and having limited agency outside of their relationships with men.
In some family - centered stories, women might be regressing in relation to men. Say, in a new series of short stories about family life, the women are always shown as homemakers who depend entirely on the men for financial and major decision - making support, similar to the more traditional family setups of the past. This goes against the more modern portrayals of women being equal partners in all aspects of family life.
