I can definitely understand the difficulty a lot of people have had with wrapping their minds around this story, everything about this movie is in total contrast to everything that we're being taught and indoctrinated with in contemporary Western culture. Men are not supposed to be in control, men are not supposed to be independent, men are not supposed to be their own people, men are supposed to obey, be obedient, and be submissive.
The celibacy aspect of this story was fascinating what a lot of people don't seem to realize is that most women in America are just not sexual beings anymore and many men live lives of unwilling celibacy so the concept of guys willingly renouncing sex who is rather fascinating and a social phenomena that needs to be explored. I could see a lot of woman being put off by this film and justifiably so, it does threaten the position that they hold so dear. That of big boss. I know man who aren't even allowed to carry cash anymore they make the excuse that they use their credit card because it's easier for them to keep track of expenses but in reality the lack of cash is a form of emasculation.
The cultish aspect of this story was a difficult thing to find a level of comfort with, but the basic movie was a rather interesting story, that needs to be talked about, and needs to be considered. 'Me too" has created an extreme society. Toxic masculinity is the mantra of the day. Men are definitely being left behind by the millions, and most men don't even realize how extremely emasculated they are.
What made the film a bit bizarre is that it seemed like his girlfriend was a very decent person, not a Pinkett like dragon queen or a particularly difficult person. So most of his problems seem to be internal.
Having said all that the movie was very convoluted, the central character's personality was beyond bizarre, and the ending was wholly unsatisfying. This was not a good movie, but it's a very important theme that needs to be explored.
