I don't think bro-culture is something anyone aspires to. I had a great experience working for a company that often is criticized as a "boys club", but I consider what I experienced there to be Man-Culture, not bro-culture, and I think the baby is thrown out with the bathwater in this kind of debate. My suspicion is that any company that ends up with a "bro-culture" is simply trying and failing to implement a "man-culture." At the other extreme I've worked in "inclusive" environments, and I'm just so fucking sick of it. You spend too much damn time worrying about other peoples' feelings to get any meaningful work done. Interestingly the man-culture place had a lot less tolerance for harassment (except harassment by women, for some reason that was tolerated.) I think it stemmed from more paternalism, which came hand-in-hand with the Man-Culture. EDIT: Wow this comment section is getting lit up today. My respect for this community continues to grow.
