Yes, I agree. I believe that the technical definition of male gaze (which can be found online) is narrow, a syou say.
I like the larger definition in terms of how I try to consider how text and story works and how people react to the stories we tell in whatever media. That is, in the sense of people saying "that's not right" or "that's not how things are" when it doesn't fit the default mode. If that makes sense.
