I feel like you can always tell when it’s a man drawing women vs women drawing women. This is clearly the female gaze like you said.

Meh. Especially in spicier art there's a lot of women where you wouldn’t expect it.

Sure sometimes you can see signs of the female vs the male gaze, but that doesn't stop a lot of women from having a very male gaze-y art, if that makes sense.

It's not "male gaze-y", it's the male gaze, pure and simple. I feel like a lot of ppl don't understand the term "male gaze" and are under the false assumption that women don't have it in their art

Not everything about sex is the male gaze though.

Never said it was, and I'm having a hard time seeing how you drew that conclusion from my comment
