Fight club shows how men lose their characteristics of masculinity and how to recover it from society.For instance, let us look the Narrator, his activities and thoughts slightly have a touch in feminity.In one scene Narrator's teeth fall down.Tyler tells "Hey even Monalisa's falling apart" because Narrator cares about fairness, Tyler tells this to avoid a sadness in Narrator.He buys things for decorating the house, which are the activities of women.After joining in fight club, he loses teeth, fairness, and get a bleeding face.These are the activities of traditional men.
In the film, there are very few women presented on the screen.They are figured as crazy sexual creatures.This is not like "Fight club degrade the feminity", but conveys the projections of society's thought about women.Recall the quotation,"Self-improvement is masturbation".This quote is a connector between masculinity and consumerism."Self-improvement" means owning things and decorate the home,"Masturbation" is the significance of the self-destruction.So the idea is "Consumerism deconstructs the masculinity".This is the reason why the narrator represents the feminity because he loses the mannerism of men and decorating the condo with IKEA furniture.
Fight club portraits all men characters in the movie as a symbol of feminity except Tyler Durden.For example, let's look the Narrator's boss, he loves corn-flower blue color which represents the "sweetness".Also remember the group of men in "Remaining men together".They release their sadness by crying, "Crying and releasing emotions" is the significance of feminity.But Tyler needs the society of pure men so he starts the Fight Club. Violence is one of the characteristics of masculinity so It can help to re-masculine the man.
Tyler believes fight club can grow the leadership and dominative skills among the members.And those members don't get afraid of losing fairness and hair.They truly want to submit themselves for some meaningful purpose.To give an illustration to my idea, I note the quote of Norman Mailer, that is "Masculine is not something given to you, but something you gain, and you gain it by winning small battles".So Tyler trusts the Fight club as a school of "Re-masculinity".
