Feb 4, 2009 - r they scared?Im confused
HelenaHermione Says:
Oct 1, 2009 - @kazyBarbarianThey're not scared--it's a reversal of gender roles; now women in space have the chance to show that they're dominant to the men, or at least have their own inner strength to display.
kazyBarbarian Says:
Oct 3, 2009 - now that i look at it again it seems to me that women in this vid are stronger because they dont have to hold their tongue.not to show that they are dominant.

Mar 31, 2010 - Wonderful poem and wonderful video. Do you think Collins was in on the creation of this video? And, if he wasn't, do you think he approves?
MyLatestEscape Says:
Apr 9, 2010 - Well the men that made the woman's lower lip quiver were also the men who made the movies and wrote the science fiction. So do you believe they were aware of what they were doing and anticipating the backlash? (or rather, is that the point BC was making in this poem?)Anyway, great vid, and thank you for posting it.
