I think you misintrepreted it though. I don't think it's necessarily about men just wanting to act like savages and beat the sh*t out of things. I see it as being about people who are at the end of their rope and can't take much more of the souless existance that society has saddled them with.

I thought I misinterpreted too until I thought of some other films that best portrayed people sick of conformity;
Easy Rider and especially
Office Space. In the latter movie, the reasons as to why the protagonist goes against his company are things I can certainly relate to. Whereas in
Fight Club the only reason why I think Pitt's character goes against the establishment, was because he didn't get all the things he thought he was entitled to. Which is pretty much all of us, but we don't complain now do we? So that pretty much makes me think he is just self-entitled cry-baby that needs a good smack of reality.
And I still think the fights were stupid.
Damnit! I just hate this movie.
But, of course, all that is just my humble opinion.

I heard this quote so many times
