So that men like Edward or Tony won't be considered "weak" because they are sensitive or unwilling to have a dick fight

Yes, but couldn't you argue the fact that Tony was so incredibly weak that he couldn't even bring himself to attempt to fight for his family? I mean, after all, they did end up getting
raped and murdered.- and yes, I get that the whole novel is a visualization of Susan reading Edwards book so therefore Tony is a personification of Edward in the past, but you could argue that if Edward had fought for his relationship in a more masculine way instead of letting Susan walk all over him, that things could have been different.

On the contrary, this is why we need masculism. He should have pulled out a gun and blew all 3 away.
There will always be psychopaths in this world; man and woman. It has nothing to do with patriarchy but it sometimes does take masculine strength to deal with it.
Femininity serves a purpose; and so does masculinity. I don't mean 'man enough to show your emotions', but man enough to break someone's jaw when the situation calls for it, which is what Tony lacked. -

The film is pretty anti-feminist, it shows the difference between men and women. Men are risk takers who would jeopardize their future for a greater goal while woman seek security and stability above everything.

docstar - You are a toxic, vulgar, agenda biased, neophyte who has taken way too many Women's Study classes. This is why this millennial movement will go the way of the trash heap. You project your own poisonous outlook on human beings and spew it out there in the internet world trying to persuade new followers. The agenda is clear.

Considering it's IMDb, I'm not sure if this is satire but I completely agree with you. Edward was originally a warm and sensitive person (he reminded me of my own boyfriend), and it's really unfortunate that he felt the need to harden or to become less "weak".
