Female Fight Club

Fight Club is unarguably violent for no reason. People cannot fathom the idea of pain as a reliever. It is shunned by many; the majority label people that practice such violent acts lunatics or insane. Fight Club is more than simply a reliever or a run-away-from-your-problems paradise; it is equally fueled by the natural nature of men. Men are typically more aggressive and more physical than women are. Women typically are more emotional and more passive than men are. Stereotypes do not create truth, but they do inhibit perspectives.

Fight Club could have happened anywhere, at anytime, with anyone. For a second I am going to pretend, just imagine that, put my self in the mindset that maybe women would have a fight club. Except their fight club would consist of cute things like a tea party for instance. No really, a fight club type gathering for women today may not be that different from the fight club for men. It is becoming increasingly more popular for women to turn to violence to solve problems. Since that turning point of a movie titled “Enough” starring Jennifer Lopez, women have seemed to be more inclined to indulge in self-defense classes. Female boxing has become more popular. My high school had a female on the football team. The world is changing a little at a time.

It is highly possible that women would fight just as men would to relieve stress. Pain is nothing new to women. With things like anorexia and wrist cutting (not that these are only female things) women are more exposed to pain than ever before. They drink more alcohol and catfights are becoming more and more violent. Nowadays women fight men. With the way the country is evolving, we might as well cast Kirsten Dunst as Edward Norton’s character and Angelina Jolie as Brad Pitt’s character and let it run its course. Fight Club would be the same as male fight club in the world we live in.
