    OP comic is much closer to what movie is about. It is a broad anarchist theme. Focusing on the men’s group organization is an extremely narrow view.

      Absolutely, but the way that it is broadly known to be misunderstood is in its commentary about toxic masculinity.

      People come away thinking “I should start a fight club” and those people, as the movie, are not generally women. Because (precisely the point of the movie) men are not taught how to deal with emotions in a healthy way in our society.

      This is an ongoing issue of society, its what’s led to the male loneliness epidemic, and to point that out is not sexist. we need to address it and correct it.

      Obviously the issue is now beyond the point of making a super cool satirical movie about it and its connections to consumerism and the broad failures of our capitalist hellscape.
