Here's why that might be the case:
* Historically: Many stories throughout history have been written by men, about men, and from a male perspective. This has contributed to a perception that stories are "his story" by default.
* Power Dynamics: Historically, men have held more power in storytelling and publishing, which has shaped the narratives we've been exposed to. This can lead to a subconscious assumption that "the story" is often about a man.
* Specific Context: Without knowing the specific story you're referring to, it's hard to give a more precise answer. It's possible that "his story" refers to a particular character's narrative or the author's own experiences as a man.
It's important to remember that stories can be told from any perspective, and there are many great stories written by women and about women.
To get a more specific answer, please tell me:
* What story are you thinking of?
* What makes you think it's "his story"?
This will help me understand your specific question and give you a more helpful answer.
