Most stupid bro. code (fragile masculinity)
 

And by that I mean what the most fragile and pointless gender expectations for men have been (aside from the major destructive ones) by narrow mid-20th century ideas of masculine behaviour.

1. A bro. never wears pink (even though pink was the quintessentially masculine colour pre-1950s).
2. A bro. never gives another bro. silent treatment.
3. A bro.’s never required to remember another bro.’s birthday.
4. A bro. never looks another bro. in the eye when either of them are eating a banana.
5. A bro. doesn’t grow his hair out past a certain point (that expectation didn’t exist pre-1950s either).

That’s my own. I’m sure certain males of the baby boomer generation won’t agree but baby boomers are called baby boomers for a reason. Most of those rigid masculine stereotypes didn’t exist before the mid-20th century.

Half of the ten commandments there :clap2:

How dare colours not mean the same 50 to a hundred years later

I mean whst the actual

:joker:

I did this to one of my colleagues whilst he was on the phone once (I like shoved half the banana down my throat) and he had to turn away to stop himself from laughing so I think they like this one

the whole “you can’t suck your mates off” has always seemed dumb to me

pinks my favourite colour

do men actually follow that no pink rule like that sounds dumb as hell

some do and it's tragic

no pink rule was cancelled when cam’ron pulled up in the pink furs and flip phone

Girls do want men to look like men, that hasn't changed

Who said it did?

how do you account for the hippies then :skull:

and the mullet lol

Only you

For some reason

Hippies aren’t bros

if you’re not ugly i doubt wearing pink is gonna stop you from getting a date

Some men look great in pink

Rite

I have 2 polo shirts in pink

I’d be inclined to agree but I’m straight myself. Men oozing in white male baby boomer mentality are trash for sure.

When?

Yet here you are in 2020 mentioning it, so perhaps the same problems are happening now in your examples directed directly at baby boomers:shrug:

There was a time high heels and pink were befitting of men only. Heterosexual gender attraction mightn’t have changed but perceptions of masculine and feminine characteristics definitely have.

completely confused so are we talking about black or white men, or both?

I meant to add unless he belongs to a certain subculture.

What does race have to do with it? :umm2:
