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.

A bro. never looks another bro. in the eye when either of them are eating a banana.

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

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.

ish. They've been dipping in and out between being for both genders and only women since they existed. Roman hookers used to wear high heels, for example.
