I got a better articulation of what was bothering me further down:
Maybe it's because I'm Gen X myself that while Tyler's solution is wrong, his articulation of the PROBLEM actually struck a chord. Which may, in turn, be why I noticed so acutely that half the human race is missing from the movie's worldview. Because what he says about the men of his generation is something I think a lot of Gen X'ers feel--and, you know, half of us are women.
Tyler's solution is wrong, but the narrator's soulless Ikea-driven life is just as wrong.
