female characters so clearly written to be nothing more than the libidinal desire of the male gaze

Do you like my pictures tho?

Your character's sexuality doesn't seem to be written for a male audience, but rather a natural extension of a woman's love for herself and her own body. Women's sexuality can certainly be detached from/existing outside of the male gaze and your writing seems to capture that pretty well. It's the difference between an Atara Themis and a, say, Knightley ;P
