What representations of men are offered/constructed in the media forms you have studied?

Fight Club
At the beginning of fight club the men appear to be represented as complicit and marginalised in terms of Connel's theory of masculinity. The narrator seems to have lost his place in society, and his controlled by his possessions and his home. He works in a job he hates for little money, simply to fulfil his desires to have the 'perfect' life. The ideals of Fight Club begin to be seen here, this is why they become intent on destroying capitalism.
We are then introduced to a character named Bob, at a meeting for men who have had testicular cancer. Like the narrator, he is represented as marginalised but also subordinate. His body is not the type that is typically associated with men, for example his breasts have become larger due to him losing his testicles. His behaviour is also atypical as he is seen crying and hugging the narrator, which a normal hegemonic male would view as disgraceful behaviour.
Throughout the beginning of the film the men are all represented similarly until Tyler Durden is introduced. He is everything that the narrator wants to be. He is presented as a more stereotypical hegemonic male with his muscular physique and laddish behaviour.
