What represntations of men are affered/constructed in the media form(s) you've studied?

In fight club the males would like to think they are the typical hegemonic males or they are regaining the power of a hegemonic male or they aspire to be the tradititional hegemonic male.

The characters of fight club don’t believe that they have a place in society and they feel a sense of distortedness. In other words they are more marginalised rather than hegemonic, sense the reason fight club is started and why new people join the club. It could be apparent that the males are related to the theory Bly has and that they are trying to get back to the pre-industrial man, due to their attraction of violence, which is denied in society, and the fact that Tyler shows the role of a father figure to the narrator and trying to bring him up the way he thinks best. Although he isn’t shown to be young, you could look at the narrator as an adolescent. Another way the narrator could be seen as an adolescent is the view or relationship he has with opposite sex, he cannot treat Martha in a mature way.
