Re: Yes!

By that same logic, all the women (and there are a LOT) driving SUVs have penis envy...

I really suspect a lot of the SUV craze is actually not sexual insecurity, but a (mostly misplaced) feeling of freedom. The freedom to drive wherever you want, not just where the roads are. The freedom to drive whenever you want or need, not hampered by snow and ice. The freedom to haul large loads, pull trailers, carry many people. The freedom from fear that other vehicles will squish you like a VW bug. There is a certain feeling of elation in knowing that you could drive whenever, however, with whatever load, even if you never actually do. And all those reports that SUVs roll over, cost a fortune to buy and maintain, guzzle gas, release too much pollution, etc., are just ways to take away our freedoms, like preventing smoking in restaurants and not letting guns on planes and imposing speed limits and allowing inflation and not letting people drink and drive...
