Jane Austen's Fight Club



Yes!

I loved Fight Club, but I have to admit that one thing I kinda disliked about it was the role it relegated women to: objects to fight over or fuck.

I love Jane Austen, in a love-to-hate kind of way.

The idea of a mashup of the two... PRICELESS! Yes! Simpering females left to either marry or die, rascal males... pish tosh, I say old boy. Girls going at it, living fiercely, with lust and vivre de joi? Right up my alley. I think this is the same thing I love about Roller Derby girls. There's something so attractive in the idea of a physically unafraid female, a woman able and eager to get dirty and fight, to live really out loud!

Pilates? Yoga? pah. Derby. Fight Club.

Rawr!

    Well, women had been so marginalized and trivialized for centuries, that I can see how something like this could develop.
