How does V for Vendetta represent typical gender roles to communicate messages?

V for Vendetta has many ideas and messages underlying within the story. One of these messages is the idea of gender roles, represented by hypermasculinity, phallic, yonic and orgasmic imagery, the stereotyping of mothers and fathers and the oedipus complex

One of the ways that gender roles are represented to be stereotypical is in the scene called "God is in the rain", in which Evey emerges to the outside world in the rain after her torture, juxtaposed by the similar emerging of V from the fires of the camp after he burned it down. The scene can be found below: 

The textual elements in this scene help reinforce the gender roles found in hyper masculinity as the editing compares the scene of V rising from the fire, screaming with pain to Evey's reuniting with the outside world. Pain and destruction are both manly things, but to survive a fire and walk out casually makes us think that he has some kind of superpowers, which is a very masculine trait. On the other hand, this could just show that V has a high pain tolerance, which either way, is still masculine. The hole in the wall in which he arises from can be seen as yonic, as it is the birthing of his vengeance - This, when linked, can show that vengeance is a burning desire that V has. This is then compared to Evey as she similarly emerges from torture to the outside world, birthing her freedom. This is compared directly through an image match of both characters raising their arms, enforced by the acting of Natalie portman as her facial expressions almost mimic those of an orgasm. This can also show the idea of procreation in gender roles, in which this scene subverts as V births a new, freer Evey

Another way that gender roles are represented in V for Vendetta is through the birthing of a free country, portrayed by the destruction of parliament and the movement of the people and the images that this brings. The scene below shows this:

There are very many objects in this scene that are considered phallic, and give a good display of the power relationships between people. For example, the guns used by the army are supposed to show power, however, when they are told to stand down, the soldiers put their guns down, symbolising erectile incompetence, and thus a loss of power and masculinity. The same happens for the detective. I believe that another, more substantial phallic object in the scene is the lever in which Evey pulls down to activate the train and arm the bombs. The lever is phallic, arming bombs which is a threat (a masculine trait), the train then leaves the tunnel, showing the birth of an upcoming revolution. The train then penetrates the walls of the houses of parliament, which is also masculine. It then explodes, representing the orgasm of it all. Orgasms are often tied into birth (cause and effect), which can represent the birth of the revolution
