Although that element of the male gaze is central (the sexual gaze) I would define it more broadly as valuing/privileging "male defined" (culturally defined) viewpoints, expressions, interests, etc as being intrinsically more important/of interest to the entire community while other viewpoints/expressions are marginalized. But not everyone will agree at such an expansive definition.
