    The association from otherwise well meaning people with dick-size and body shaming when it comes to cars is weird/creepy.

      I have never understood this. And for some its not even a meme. Some people HONESTLY BELIEVE every single person who buys a large car only does so because of their dick.

        Yup, this. And because old habits tend to die hard. To redesign this without body shaming I am looking for other, non-genital related associations that make suv drivers just as fucking mad

      It would be a lot stranger if there weren’t such a direct correlation between projecting masculinity and buying large vehicles.

      But there clearly, objectively, openly is.

        You’re mistaking being toxically masculine with having a small dick. It’s not the same thing and you’re actively participating in bodyshaming when you do this. It’s just hurting people for no reason.
