i love the video to this song. so amazing. it really adds a lot to the meaning of the song. the album version is so soft and sweet and "girly". and then the video is so angry and harsh. the opposite. but it just shows how girls feel both ways. they have a range of emotion but the anger and harshness is something that we teach them to ignore. just like we teach boys to ignore the soft sweetness. i love at the end when she steals that red firebird, a symbol of masculinity and everything that men aspire to be, and smashes it. very powerful. this video is filled with powerful imagery, but that was the most poignant. i'm not a girl, but i'm gay. so i can relate somewhat. cus guys see me, and it's like i'm throwing away my birthright to be better than girls or something. i'm not sure what is so threatening about being gay. i don't even like to label myself as gay, but guys are so hot. and society needs to be able to label me so that they know how to treat me. i guess. which reminds me, i also love when she runs down the guys playing hockey, cus there were times in highschool when i would have loved to have done something like that to some of the guys who harassed me. i'd could never, i'm very anti-violence, i can't even kill bugs, but you know. fantasy and all.
