Some people just plain don’t fit in with gender norms. I mean, come on, it’s the 21st century–people can do whatever the hell they want without much judgment. Guys nowadays spend Saturdays binge-watching “House Hunters International” and make appointments to get their eyebrows waxed, while some girls love kicking back on the couch, swigging beer, and watching football while belching and scratching their genitals. We call that breed of girl the “female bro,” and watching her operate is a thing of beauty. She doesn’t quite fit in with most girls, and she doesn’t really enjoy hanging out with massive groups of girls who do things like gossip, craft, and Pinterest. She can drink most guys under the table, has strong opinions on whether the Giants are going to cover the spread against the Texans, and has a very cavalier attitude about sex. She’s not a slut, though, oh no; she makes most GUYS feel like sluts, kicking them out of her bedroom with a firm, open-palmed slap on the behind and a “great job, slugger.” If any of these signs sound like you, congratulations–you might be turning into a female bro.
