I like bros... | Danny Jolles | Stand-up Comedy

When I said "feminist," his mouth curled. "What does that mean?" he asked, confused. I explained I spent most of my time writing blog posts, tweets, and research summaries pertaining to the feminist movement, primarily in the areas of reproductive justice and sexual violence prevention on college campuses. With a faint eyebrow raise, the conversation abruptly ended.

We filled out the surveys handed to us when we walked into the seminar room. Under the section where we were supposed to circle which aspects of progressive politics interested us, I glanced at his paper, only to see he chose every possible answer except for "Racial Justice," “LGBTQ Rights," and "Women's Rights."

Meet the Brogressive.

The Brogressive loves Reddit, but hates Tumblr because it is "too whiney." The Brogressive #FeelsTheBern, but wrote an angry Facebook status about the #BlackLivesMatter protestors for "interrupting" Bernie Sanders in Seattle. The Brogressive is the college student-turned overly serious D.C. intern, who will politely clap when Senator Elizabeth Warren talks about equal pay for equal work, but is alarmingly quick to defend rapists, asking questions about false accusations.

The Brogressive is all defensive wonk talk and no action, because at the end of the day, he does not need to work towards justice, since he already benefits from systems of power.
