Yeah. And you know when you say this to a mullet-boy they get angry and want to pull their dicks out and say "nuh uh!". But they miss the point, its not about the actual size of ones penis -- its about being insecure. And just to be polite I always talk like there are exceptions, but really there aren't. If you drive a truck like that you are an insecure child inside.

Farmers in Vermont tend to not be the small-dick-car kind of driving crowd (oops, did my prejudice just sneak out?! ) But I've lived in the South and Mid-west where that is indeed common. You are quite right about sociologically there being a slant that way in the kinds of jobs considered essential, I'd not thought about it from that angle. I was just assuming they are all Trumpites who think Covid is a liberal plot, and like showing how tough they are .

@Observer-Effect but you might also be noticing those big lifted trucks more, and ascribing them greater importance. I'm assuming the "hired help" on farms does include some lifted trucks, simply because younger males. But it should be pretty easy to tell the difference between a truck that's at least seen a dirt road, vs a purely vanity truck. No idea.
