Bro Culture, Fitness and American Identity

“It’s easy to write off this type of bantering, competitive male interaction, and the cultural spheres in which it takes place, as Guys Being Dudes and nothing more. Why think too hard about it? Its participants generally don’t.

I think it’s important to dig into for one major reason: because this specific form of masculinity – and the physical and online spaces where it’s created and reinforced – lies at the foundation of grasping both the current state and future of a whole swathe of American culture and politics.”
