: One of my fav flicks as of late is "Fight Club" *and why does this surprise soooooo many people in my life? Is it because that I am a woman that I am not suposed to get or identify with the themes of the film? What's up with that?
Well, yes. Because the society that we live in only allows men to act out upon their feelings of rage while females are meant to internalize. Men are wild at heart and carefree, whereas women are only there to help facilitate the man towards his goals. This is sarcasm. I love pie.
: Anyways... my question this morning is, If there was such thing as fight club would you go - even if it's just to experience on fight and then leave having kicked or gotten the shit kicked out of you?
I already do. I think I may mention this more in real life than I mention on the boards - but its called SCA combat. Every Tuesday night in a Church basement in downtown Detroit, and every Sunday at a Fencing club. Sure, we wear protective armor - but if you get hit in the head, you still cant see straight and if you get hit right, theres your concussion. Thats about it, though... I bleed and lose full rotation of my arms and legs. I've taken kidney shots so hard that I piss blood. But overall, its worth it when you're staring into someone's eyes and you can see they want to kick your ass just as hard as you want to crush them.
: And question two, if you could fight anybody (famous, historical....) who would you want to fight and why?
Well, Stacy said my first answer... I'll go with Ben Franklin. Big target with perfect posture.
: Do I come off as a little bitter? I'm not honestly.... but watching this movie just makes ya wanna go out and seriously kick a little ass :)
I know the feeling... but you should be bitter. What makes the world think a chick cant kick ass just as hardcore as I guy can? Sure, maybe not in all fighting styles, where sometimes brute strength comes into play (any of you ladies want to wrestle Grizzly?) but in enough to make life interesting.
