Sorry But I Had To

Today, watching Fight Club, I saw something worth noting on this blog. There was a scene where Brad Pitt and Edward Norton get on a bus and scope out the people on it while a person brushes by them. Not really paying that any attention, they see a sign on the side of the bus for a Calvin Kline ad. It displays a man modeling underwear. They ask each other, is that what a man really looks like? The whole movie is a satire on society, and this scene helps to add to the "theme" of our class of gender stereotypes. Not all men look like that, but in advertising, just like for women, the men are most of the time good looking and physically fit suggesting that is what we all need to look like.
