[quote=Anonymous]Eh, the bro dads I know in DC mostly have graduate degrees, some work in policy jobs, and I absolutely could see some of them posting on DCUM, which has an above average percentage of arrogant, condescending, self-important posters.

Also I know several bro dads in my neighborhood who have e-bikes and talk about composting. I live on the Hill and some people here get competitive about having a low-carbon footprint -- there is social cache in it. Which I guess is better than competing over who has the biggest truck. But most of the bro dads will brag about their e-bikes in the same breath that they brag about taking their family to New Zealand, so the environmentalism is somewhat performative.

But that's what a bro dad is to me -- competitive, status conscious, and arrogant. Especially about their kids or family. It doesn't really matter if they're bragging about Junior's lacrosse prowess or how progressive their daughter's preschool is. People find all kinds of dumb $hit to be competitive about. [/quote]
