“Bro Code” Is Often Shorthand for “Lazy”.

Well … it is.

Those asking for this presumptuous male solidarity usually …

  1. Want to cover up their own unscrupulous behavior,
  2. Are not very mature (possibly not adult or lousy examples of the aforementioned), and
  3. Lack introspection and trustworthiness.

They frequently and involuntarily recruit others to their cause, trying to bully them into a retrograde version of masculinity. They could figure shit out for themselves, but why do that if they can capitalize on others’ sexist insecurities?

I suspect women have their own version of “girl code.” However, I’m in no position to judge the societal pressures and nuances that make it up.
