Yeah exactly. I think it was more intended to be interpreted as a rejection and critique of modernity, capitalism and materialism than an encouragement to go be an asshole.
Patriarchy apparently has been running the world for thousands of years, so I don’t know how some movie about a delusional person, that I never saw, is proof of anything. I guess Brad Pitt and Ed Norton were the same dude. I should probably watch this thing.
if you don’t want patriarchy you need to replace it with something else that maintains invested fathers or you end up with Fight Club.
Fathers are invested in their children, their partner, their society. Just like everyone else is.
Fight Club is about toxic masculinity. Which hasn’t always existed.
it exists in literally every other primate species. I wonder what we did differently to eschew that behavior …
Please enlighten us how toxic masculinity is present in literally every other primate species.

You really gonna sit there and tell me it’s against nature for two male animals to fight over territory/a mate?

“If men can’t rule society, they’ll just beat the shit out of each other in underground fights” really isn’t a great selling point.
isn’t that film kinda proof that patriarchy doesn’t do that all that well?

It’s a really good movie. You should totally watch it.
Thanks for this well thought out and nuanced opinion.
