45	->''"Women in the media for so long were always the [[TheHeart emotional support]], the [[DamselInDistress damsels]], the smiling pretty faces, so in the 90's, there was a desperate need to change that. Oh, not by making them [[HollywoodHomely unpretty]], we wouldn't do that, but we suddenly made them [[{{Tsundere}} cold, bitter, confrontational, and overly strong]], to go out of their way to show that they're not those old emotional stereotypes, and instead make way for new emotional stereotypes. For you see, in every 90's film, the woman behind this strong independent wall that won't let everybody in, ''[quivering, feminine voice]'' is a sad little bunny rabbit that will eventually let down her defences and reveal a tragic backstory. ''[normal voice]'' [[NeverASelfMadeWoman So you see, she wasn't a strong, confident worker just because she was a strong, confident worker.]] ''[jumps back to the feminine voice]'' Deep down she just wants to be held like any other fragile woman. Oh, I don't want to think! I just want to be loved!"''

48	->''My lover's heart is numbing stone\
49	That hides in ice beneath our sight.\
50	So some decry, "It is not there,"\
51	While others whisper, "Yet, it might."\
52	\
53	Though stone is born from fevered ash,\
54	Once formed it yields no whiff of heat.\
55	So too, her heart betrays no love,\
56	Nor comforts those embracing it.\
57	\
58	As mountains grow and yearn for sky,\
59	Then climbers, conquering, ascend.\
60	With chisel, rope, with axe and pick,\
61	They force the rock to yield to them.\
62	\
63	One peak stands proud amidst the range,\
64	Invincible, and scaled by none.\
65	Those men who try wash down her slopes;\
66	Their eye-born streams obliquely run.\
67	\
68	For brash assault could never pierce\
69	Those guarded depths that lay apart.\
70	But patient water gently shapes\
71	A furtive channel to the heart.\
72	\
73	My love is delving water, ice\
74	That cracks with cycles of the sun.\
75	A lapping, yearning, whispered plea\
76	Will mark the time 'til I rush in.\
77	\
78	For I have dwelt among the rocks,\
79	My city carved from rugged stone.\
80	So in that burrow I will creep,\
81	And warm the soul which makes my home.''
