I dealt with masculinity in my own post, but mostly in reference to how it deals with Marla. However, the movie suggests that biological pieces are not the (only) source of masculinity: because Bob is ?still a man? and because the narrator, who has no testicular cancer, is not considered a ?man? until he is the leader of Fight Club/Project Mayhem. Then at the end of the movie, he is a ?whole man? because (I believe) he and Tyler merge and that his feminine side is now controlled and exists outside of himself in Marla. There is definitely conflicting ideas of masculinity in this movie. PS: I loved your comments about the start of the movie. ?What essentially makes a man ?manly? if not the biological pieces and parts??

One thing you discussed that really caught my attention was the comment on booby Bob. You ask if comfort can be derrived from breasts that belong to another besides a mother or a lover. While this is a very interesting idea, I believe that it is just another metanarrative that refers to the struggle of masculinity in contemporary culture. It is not a floating question, since, as you state, there is an answer. So, boobs, combat, and loosing hope are the answers to the looming problem of masculinity. So, here we have re-examination of life, problem, answer, solution, reality. Modernism.
