I agree with the previous blog by understanding how Fight Club could possibly be feminine. Fight Club is a masculine handbook, reiterating the basic points of what constitutes being a man. The book is solely the struggle of one man striving to be like the ideal man (Tyler) and also trying to struggle with his lifestyle (commercialism and his job). You can juxtopose the role of women with masculines struggle because you can relate fiminism and masculinity. However, I don't think that the purpose of this book is to relate feminism and masculinity. The book is a narrative about the key factors of what it means to be a man, and how you can overcome the struggle of trying to be a man in society by the basic all time masculine practice of fighting. I think the novel becomes more interesting when not juxtaposed with feminism, and do not think that this book is a celebration of feminism. The book is a rare narrative solely about masculinity, when there are plenty of novels about feminism and the struggle which women have overcome. Fight Club provides insight on the masculine struggle reiterating what it means to be a man, and is not supposed to reiterate what it means to be a women.
If I wanted to read a book about feminism I would not refer to Fight CLub, because there are far more better quality examples of works that touch upon both maculine and feminine gender roles. Let Fight CLub be masculine without taking away from that struggle of masculinity (because obviously there is a struggle) by comparing its roots with femininity. I think that is why there really is no really strong feminine character. The main female character, Marla, only highlights the angst of what a man has to overcome.
