Masculinity and SUVs

[Steeljack]

According to a study at Cornell U, men whose masculinity has been questioned are more likely to oppose gay marriage, support the war in Iraq and buy SUVs.

Good. Every single 06 Sonata I've seen thus far are driven by women except mine. I was starting to have thoughts that it might be a girlie car.....

am thinking that they got their data from from gays...errr...i mean guys in Cornell U and nearby!

Hehehe... defensive!

Ika nga, di the SUV is a phallic symbol? Those who are insecure about their manhood support the war in Iraq? Shyeeeet... I would get into such trouble if I posted that on my US board (and possibly be banned!)

^if the SUV is considered as a phallic symbol, then what's for the anal stage? hahaha!

funny, because most SUV drivers i know are girly girls, including my wife. they like being high up, having plenty of room for their purse in the console and storage for shopping loot, etc.

My former boss is openly gay, and he drives a RAV4. Hmmm...

A female officemate of mine drives a Gen 1 3-door Pajero every Monday (coding kasi yung Fiat Uno niya).

She once expressed apprehension at bringing her Paj to an all-girl party, remarking that driving in it makes her look like a butch. [I don't hear her complaining about the 4WD, though ]

[Wouie]

observe ko nga most SUV drivers are women.
