Add it to the list of films you just could not make anymore.

Yeah. You'd definitely have to have women in the fight club, beating up all the guys.

"pro male"?

Don't be silly! Bashing toxic masculinity is all the rage now!


Uh, you do realize th his film is about toxic masculinity? Dont you?

The fact that you think this film has a "pro male" message is laughable.

Did you even watch the film? Are you familiar with the book's author?

I agree with you to some extent. Feminists and leftists would definitely attack the film for being sexist. But I always viewed it more as a anti-consumerist type of film. It was a story that tried to destroy the idea of senseless materialism, as a means of personal fulfillment.

But I do think that the film industry needs to change and steer clear of this politically correct style of filmmaking. It's ruining cinema, and creating a lot of terrible and dull movies. Hopefully this is just a phase in cinema, and at some point in the future, directors will start producing cult classics again.

I do have to agree that this movie would probably not be made nowadays, though not necessarily for being too 'pro-male' or 'anti-woman', but rather for being too anti-consumerist and in general being too challenging and difficult to digest, thematically.

In other words, all the major reasons why this is such a great, powerful, and important film are the very reasons it wouldn't be made in today's climate.

Such a terrible shame.

I am all for equality.

"Your homework is to start a fight with a complete stranger"

Now, where are feminists DEMANDING men would start fights with WOMEN? Hmm? Women are as strong (or stronger than) as men, can do anythin men can do and better, and in high heels, need men like fish need bicycle, and gender is just a social construct.

So why can't they? Hmm? This movie DOES need more equality, go beat up those women in the club!!

See now why it's a "male movie"? Not because men are stupid and violent, but because you can't make a movie where men hit women's bloody faces against pavement so they get permanent brain damage and their faces are crushed and teeth fly out of their mouths.

So this movie is STILL misandristic on many levels, it's just a bit better at hiding it because of almost-all-male-cast (it even has the woman-ársekissing 'injected romance'!) and because there's a fight club without female members.

Imagine an EQUAL version of this movie, it would raise a MUCH bigger backlash and feminist outrage and roar than this movie ever did as it is.
