Owning giant pickup trucks and SUVs. I'm not that secretive about it, though. I assume everyone driving them is an insecure, overgrown child who wants a big vroom vroom.
If I know anyone who drives one, I always refer to it jokingly as their 'emotional support vehicle".
I'm not sure about everyone else, but in my case you assume correctly. The only reason I'd want a monster truck is to act like an overgrown child who wants to show off his big vroom vroom. Also, with a mandatory funny honk.
Wow beat me to it.
Is a minivan not allowed?
I don't like them but they're at least practical.
I'll go a step further and assume they are...speaking loudly while carrying a small stick.
Interesting. I judge people who body shame people because of what they drive.
What they drive, what they own, and what their gender is.*
It's always "man have small peepee, man bald, man fat, man have smaller than average features, man short," with all replies being "haha so original and funny." But god forbid someone said anything like that about a woman, at that moment everyone remembers body shaming exists and piles on and says things like "don't objectify women." Why the double standard? Do men not deserve the right to be comfortable with their bodies as well? Don't objectify me either.
Patriarchy
