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).

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.

how do you account for the hippies then

and the mullet lol
