This post is rated X due to comments about the "rubber/latex glove".
I just saw for the first time that epic tome on weird psychology, Fight Club (1999) by David Fincher. There are many theories about what it means, what happened, and so forth and so on. But none of these discussions of theories of masculinity or the lack thereof addressed the issue most important to me. Ms. Bonham-Carter appears to play a character that is always falling off the bed.

Ok,
so she isn't always falling out of bed, but she is at least
twice, and twice is enough to convince me that it means something.
First we have....
First we have....
And then we have ...
If
we add the great, even famous line, “That was the best sex I have
had since grade school”, I think we have some sort of implication
that falling out of bed indicates, well, a fallen woman, a
woman who gives herself over to sex, or sexual pleasure. Note for example the subtle use of a latex or rubber glove being worn by Brad Pitt. Fisting perhaps? Anal sex?
Is
this the role of women in Fight Club? Is this all that women
are good for? Going to 12 step therapy sessions and hopping into (and off of) bed?
