The male gaze in cinema is a trap even the best-intentioned of them can fall into. Take John Sayles' Passion Fish. It's the female protagonist's story until she falls asleep and dreams of the man she desires, and then, in a dream sequence, her story becomes his. Some habits are more resistant than others, I guess.
