The violence section, ahh, sexual tension, love and hate. The knives section always feels to me like Buffy saying "You call that a knife?, that's a knife!"
The throwing off of the corset early in the vid is about liberation and no longer being bound, literally of course, and by the shackles of womanhood. The early section is made up entirely of period pieces because passing as a man was the only real way to throw off those shackles, the vid opens up later in the same way that options for women opened up.
Cheeky is definitely the tone I was going for. It is an affectionate pisstake rather than angry rant.

Such a lot in fact that I narrowed the cliché down to suicides/apparent suicides. Paulie from Lost and Delirious (Cry Me A River) looked to have committed suicide because her relationship with another girl went wrong and she was shunned. The girl from Hex hadn't actually killed herself but everyone assumes she has cos that's what's expected. Obviously it is way more complicated than that but you get the gist, I hope? Basically, lesbians rarely get the happy ending.
