Fight Club...For Women

The general purpose behind fight club was to create a way for men to escape their everyday lives and truly be able to live. But what if that same type of escape had been made for women? It has always been obvious that men and women react differently to anger, so therefore the opportunity to escape from the everyday problems of life would be different according to gender.

In my opinion, if women were to form an escape similar to a fight club, they would form a group where the everyday worries of life, such as weight, financial matters, appearance, and relationships did not matter. This “Fight Club” could be anything, from manicures to makeovers to massages. However, if I were to create an escape, it would have to be a shopping spree. I think many women would relate to and therefore join a club if it consisted of an unlimited day of shopping. With no boundaries on the amount of items they could buy, shopping would be an enjoyable way for women to deviate from their normal lives.

When women are able to go shopping, whether they are alone or with other women, they have an opportunity to be defiant against society and, mainly, themselves. Most of these women buy things they don’t need at all with money that they really don’t have in their bank accounts. Therefore, they are being rebellious in their own way.

Truthfully, every person has their own way of being defiant. Just as not every woman wants to go shopping, not every man enjoys fighting. Some women take very negative approaches to being defiant; such as drugs, alcohol, and even inflicting physical pain on themselves. Other women throw themselves into sexual relationships as a way of being rebellious or disloyal. Whatever the case may be, almost every person has some type of deviant activity hidden deep inside of them.
