LOL good point you got me. I meant treating others professionally, aka with at least a surface layer of respect, ethnic/sex/age/orientation blindness, at least an attempt at avoiding stereotypes, rather than brogramming. There's a time and place for fraternity bro antics, from memory it is a lot of fun, but the office probably isn't the time and place for it.
I will concede that a brogramming environment could theoretically be, for the sake of brevity, civilized. Unlikely, but possible. Hearing phrases at the interview about behavior like "boys will be boys" and discovering at the interview its a hard drinking all straight single white male existing staff might be a bad sign. I can't believe I'm actually advocating for diversity after a lifetime of making fun of it, but...
