American Psycho is a movie you've probably all heard of due to its popularity within memes in recent years. I don't think I need to explain it too much. Its director is a woman. (as you probably already knew from the screeching feminists constantly proclaiming it.) The film is intended as a commentary on "toxic masculinity" and "male competitiveness." But ironically enough it's more of a massive projection of the female social life. Specifically this scene

The scene focuses of Patrick and his "friends" (friends he's secretly jealous of and hates. Hmmm. Sound familiar?) comparing their business cards as a way of measuring how high they are socially and financially. Again, what's hilarious about this scene is it doesn't end up being a good commentary on toxic masculinity. Instead it's a massive foid projection. Women are on average according to studies far competitive among their friends than men, and also far more likely to betray and talk about their friends behind their back:

It's almost always been women who've been so obsessed with trends and how owning different things effects how people view them. Look at the recent trend of women who say they wouldn't date a man who uses an android.
Have you ever seen men do something similar? The fact of the matter is women are far more obsessed with buying products to prove their social status than men are. They're also far more judgy when someone fails to meet the same social status they believe they have.
