The #1 thing I can say to this is, there is no universality of experience. There is no such thing as a 'female perspective'.
I think what you might be fearing is that you might fall into 'male gaze' writing traps, and that's fully understandable if you were socialized toward toxic masculinity, as so many ASMAB people are. But keep in mind that cis women write male gaze BS all the time. Everyone is capable of falling into those traps.
If you are really concerned, I have a few suggestions:
Read The Macho Paradox by Jackson Katz. It is a fantastic book about misogyny from a male perspective.
Read Asking For It by Kate Harding. Similar themes, but written by a woman.
My #1 tip for you, though, is to just write and see what comes of it. Trust yourself and trust who you are. You always have the option of testing out the finished piece with some trusted women afterward to get their thoughts on it. But I would urge you to keep the identity and gender of the author secret if/when you do so as to avoid any unconscious bias on the part of the reviewers.
The most important thing is to always write!
