I've read some people who believe that we have no way of knowing what a true female gaze is because our society is still predominantly male, so no matter what we think it is no from a predominantly female (or a truly equal) society. While I'm not prepared to go that far, I think that female gaze doesn't have quite the same impact on men as it might with women. For example, most of the guys I know don't mind being objectified, whereas I can't say that with my female friends.
