You've done your best to point out what is going on with this internalized male gaze. Thank you. But do I really miss something when I've never had to much worries about the male gaze and have enjoyed the human gaze in general? ( most of the time, not all the time)

"You don't have to be female, a feminist, or aware of it for it to effect you, so isn't it better to know what is at play behind the machinations of your society?"

Don't you think there are myriads of things at play behind and through the machinations of our society?

P.S. What's new about this awareness except for the new nomification: internalized male gaze?
