This gets to one of the things that I'm uncomfortable with on the "male gaze"/"female gaze" distinction - it's very heteronormative. Liking to look at attractive women and not being interested in shirtless men doesn't make me male. It's tricky, because nearly everything in the media that plays in female attractiveness is aimed at men, and most things that play on male attractiveness are aimed at women, and I don't know any conveniently snappy non-heteronormative phrases to use instead, but it still seems to buy into the "Woman=enjoys shirtless Edward Cullen" and "Likes looking at a woman in a low-cute top=man" assumption, and that bothers me.
