It is even nicer when these men also happen to be *male objectification alert* easy on the eyes \u2013 but that\u2019s everybody. \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is special, however, is to see a man who can get a male friend to back off, when he is making a woman, who may or may not be related to either, uncomfortable. A man who can tell a friend that he or she is a jerkwad for calling a woman names behind her back. A man who can take a stand in front of his friends for a woman he is neither related to, nor hoping to sleep with. A man who can do any of the above with a straight face, to let it be known that he means it, instead of avoiding confrontation by casually letting it pass in a \u201chaha, bhai jaane de!\u201d moment.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An essay on Arr\u00e9 titled <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/bro-code-toxic-masculinity-woke-men\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow Men Talk When Women Aren\u2019t Listening\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chronicles these moments when men have been on the other end of numerous conversations featuring a woman on the ropes of either dignity or security. The author confesses about adhering to a bro code \u2013 \u00a0he has listened passively to men giving lascivious details of encounters that are morally and ethically unsound, even if he hasn\u2019t spoken a word himself. Sir, it is not the tongue at fault here. It is the spine. \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, men feel terrible when their women friends narrate their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/harvey-weinstein-me-too-sexual-assault-rape-women-safety-office-environment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#MeToo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stories, and wish that society were a safer place for them \u2013 a place where everyone has the right to wear whatever they want. But how many of them speak up when and where their words could make a difference? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was young, I loved being the elder sister who would pick up her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/first-person\/siblings-day-india-allahabad-bhai-dooj-bhau-beej-india-festival-raksha-bandhan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">baby brother<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the school bus stop in the afternoons. He, on the other hand, hated it; he continued to whine until I stopped. At the time, I thought it was his \u201cI am a grown up\u201d or \u201cI am a boy\u201d phase. It wasn\u2019t until many years later that I learned why he did not want me there \u2013 the boys on his bus talked foul about mothers and sisters who came to pick up their children or brothers. Of course, my brother was not ready to hear any of that about his sister. Of course, he would have gotten into a brawl had anyone said anything. Of course, he wanted to prevent it. Of course, his innocent mind at the time thought that the best way of not letting it happen was for me not to be seen. As my friends now tell me, this wasn\u2019t just my little brother, but pretty much every young boy who grew up with a sister.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If not for the old and crusted rules of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/beware-of-the-brocialist-harvey-weinstein-sexism-feminism-gender-femininity-masculinty-metoo-notallmen-bro-code-brocialism-sexual-harassment-harassment-molestation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bro code<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and other such aggressively male dicta that coerce men from a young age into conforming to unhealthy guy-friendship dynamics \u2013 most of which stipulate the kind of passive silence the author of the above article called out \u2013 perhaps, they would grow up to be okay with straight-up telling a male friend who is in the wrong, \u201cDude, that\u2019s not cool.\u201d<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was a time when women were told to simply settle with the belief that men <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just don\u2019t get it.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> That they are either not mature enough, or not emotionally evolved, to understand the nuances of human emotions and social situations as well as women do. Men, too, were happy to receive the free pass (and the lack of consequences) that these funky stereotypes brought along. Rahul got this free pass in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kuch Kuch Hota Hai<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where his flippant attitude toward the women in his life and his shallow approach to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/what-is-love-relationship-long-distance-breakup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> became an aww-worthy spectacle of childishness for people both inside and outside the movie. Remember Radhe in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tere Naam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? His bullying and harassing his love interest was supposed to evoke heavy gasping and romantic melting in the viewers\u2019 hearts, and it did. What about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/ranbir-kapoor-birthday-actor-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kabir<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">travel<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">freak who was too cool for love and responsibility until the serious and sensible Naina came into his life. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like to think that things are changing. I like to think that we are moving closer to a world where most men will not need an Anjali or a Nirjara or a Naina to centre them, to ground them, to make them\u2026 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decent<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And I know it is true, because while men are still bro fisting to the bro code in all its abhorrently sexist overtones, many of these men are also thinking and writing and talking about their own realisation of the damage that their passive participation is causing to the world around us, and the fact that they owe it to the world to speak up.
