Alien (which it notes as passing) as some type of feminist paragon. I also bet the number of porn films that pass it is fairly long.
But aside from the already made obvious points about how no one is going to take this seriously ever, the grant mentioned in the OP is basically one employee's salary. So not much of anything really.
