Lara croft as a vehicle for the quare gaze

During this lesson we debated over an article written by laura mulvey she claims in this article that lara is a vehicle for the quere gaze, one of her statements was that queer female players will be attracted to more violent games.
My argument against this is that she is stereotyping all female queer is as being extremely masculine in all aspects, the type of genre that someone enjoys is personal preference and not defined by gender sexuality.
Another point that she brought up was that the queer female would be attracted to lara's form however I feel that her design is aimed to wards both genders.
