Is the movie misogynistic? Not at all. In fact, like Chuck Palahniuk\'s \"Invisible Monsters\", the story dissects what it is that makes us men and women. Marla is an extremely sympathetic character caught up in the life of someone who doesn\'t understand what she means to him. The entire movie is clouded by his misperceptions and she seems unstable. Of course, we come to realize that she\'s not the one that\'s unstable. The narrator rejects her (\"I don\'t think another woman is what we really need.\") because he is exploring what he thinks his male needs are.

The movie shows it to you through his eyes. That is not enough and Tyler creates Project Mayhem. Eventually, as the character changes, fight club does not seem so right anymore. The intense beating he gives the blonde angel is a turning point in fight club. Project Mayhem now seems to be the answer. With the silly music, the homework assignments, and the perfect targets like Starbucks it\'s hard to argue with the goals of Project Mayhem. That, of course, is eventually shown to be wrong too. It is not liberating, although it initially seems like it is. It is just more fascist BS. The narrator is disillusioned with that and with Tyler. Then the truth about Tyler is revealed and the narrator realizes how he has wronged Marla. He tries to undo some of the damage that he now realizes that he has done. Marla has...
