Default 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.
