It made it seem like it was an all-boys club.
Were women not allowed to join?
I can imagine Marla beating the crap out of everyone there, lol
It was pretty clear that it was an all-men's club

No woman would last more than an hour on the porch...
shareBecause it's a fight club.
shareWe are a generation raised by women, I am starting to question if another one really is the answer to all our questions.
shareWhy not? They could decorate the place. In fact, that'd be the only thing women could do.
shareSeriously: because the movie is a male-centered fantasy about having been neutered and sedated by a vast commercial conspiracy (all the testicular cancer, let's all cry and confess our feelings stuff) and resorting to their most primal, bare knuckle brawling, blowing up *beep* male selves to become whole again. There's no place for women in such a fantasy (except as sex partners, which is the only reason Marla is even there). It even blames its problems on "a generation raised by women", nastily enough. ==There's a lot more to it than that, needless to say, but that's the reason it doesn't have or require female characters; there's no room for our point of view in it.
That. Also, the Narrator has a fear of women on some level. He in part concocts Tyler because he's attracted to Marla but is too insecure to act on it. It's a "safe" male-only space.

The Narrator *is* Marla. And Tyler. etc. Ponder it.
shareI have, and rejected it.

They both came out in '99.

Nah. Fight Club, 1999. A Beautiful Mind, 2001. Two years later.

^^^...this is why you will continue to ponder irrelevant questions like the one posed in the thread title...
The cast are not the writers. They may have their own interpretation, but the writers are the ones who actually understand the characters they created.
Your argument might work, if this was only a film. The problem is, it's an adaptation from a novel.
