Feminism

Fight Club is filled with manly defiant behavior. What would happen if they flipped the score and put women in charge? What would Fight Club and Project Mayhem turn into?

First off, women are not as concerned about being physically strong as men are. Most women in general could never overtake men in a physical fight. Women would be more likely to use their brains and their sex appeal to win battles. They would use deception and trickery to take over the world. Project Mayhem wouldn’t be about picking fights with men, it would be about seducing them or beating them in a debate. Women don’t need fighting or violence to feel significant. Women would not be trying to destroy the economy; they would be trying to take it over. Women wouldn’t want the economy to fail, but they would want to control it.


In a way, females have already had their “fight club” revolution; it was called the feminist revolution. That whole revolution was about empowering women and not settling for second best. It obviously wasn’t as extreme as the Fight Club in the story, but it was, and is, still a force to be reckoned with. Feminism started in late nineteenth century with women’s suffrage and it still continues today.
