What do you mean Calvin Klein isn't a real man?

Tyler Durden has a very different opinion of necessary things than the rest of us. Tyler thinks that a leaking roof, sketchy electricity, and a makeshift chemistry lab are luxuries. Tyler seems to be at one extreme end of the food, water, shelter thought process, whereas Edward Norton leans toward the food, water, Armani way of thinking. Edward Norton talks extensively about his Ikea furniture throughout the movie. Near the beginning, Edward Norton is sitting on the toilet, looking at what appears to be a centerfold. The magazine is actually an Ikea catalog that contains no pictures of nude women. Edward also tells Tyler that he had almost an entire lifetime’s set of outfits, and that he was “this close” to never needing another outfit for the rest of his life. Naturally Tyler, the modern Emerson, sees all these things as a hindrance to Edward’s true manhood. Tyler Durden solves this by blowing up Edward Norton’s apartment. This forces Edward Norton to move in with Tyler at Tyler’s derelict residence on Paper Street. What is rather odd about all this is the fact that Edward Norton and Tyler Durden are the same character. It’s bad enough when normal guys give each other a hard time about “being a man,” but this takes it to a new level. Tyler, or rather the book/movie is trying to make a statement about the modern American man. What’s interesting is that everyone, men and women alike watch Fight Club and marvel at how crazy the participants in the Fight Club are. Does this prove that Tyler has been right all along? Are we all sitting on our fake-leather couches watching this movie on a blu-ray player that we don’t need?! In a house that we can’t afford?!! Well whatever lol. Like I said in a high school lecture about transcendentalism; “I don’t see what the big deal is, I really like all my stuff…”
