Which is ironic, because it predicts toxic masculinity 20 years before it became a widespread phenomenon. Andrew Tate is basically Tyler Durden/the narrator in real life.

20 years before it became a widespread phenomenon
err… toxic masculinity has been mainstream since the beginning of recorded history.
Males in Athens who in adult life willingly submitted to anal penetration were derided as kinaidoi, a term of abuse which had the connotation of effeminacy.
Toxic masculinity has existed for all of recorded human history. Hell, the whole fight club mentality in the movie was basically adults having the same kind of fight culture as high schoolers having fights after school to prove how tough they were to themselves and others.
It did do an excellent job of predicting internet based toxic masculinity, or maybe it was an inspiration for those that didn’t understand the point of the movie.
Eh I’d be open to hearing an argument about how the movie or book comments on the interplay between caustic masculinity and mental illness. I don’t think the script would work without it.
