It's not and I couldn't careless what other people drive. Just a personal opinion that doesn't get voiced very often (if ever).

I bet you own a computer too. (Just a hunch.) Do you really need it? Unlikely.
About the computer bit - Yes, I need it. It was calculated as part of my tuition for the college I'm attending (which I didn't pay a single penny out of pocket for) and it's required for a multitude of classes. An argument can be made, but for the purpose of the college I am attending - yes I do need it.

Note: I am not putting this in the automotive forum because it's not about trucks themselves; rather, it's about the social constructs of real men driving trucks.
Some do, some don't.

Some real men drive Harleys.

Real men drive sportscars..not trucks.

I'll drive a truck for work. I wouldn't be caught dead in a pickup otherwise. Nothing more lame than seeing some dope dropping off a pickup at the valet at a fine dining establishments. Effin' rubes.

If it won't fit in my SUV, I have it delivered.

Are you kidding? The anti-SUV crowd has been voicing that opinion for the last 20 friggin years! If you buy anything other than what they deem to be an appropriate size, they whine, "Why does anyone NEED that?!" Well, maybe it's because I like it - and that's what matters most to me.

The truck haters can kiss my white butt.

Southern women love their pickup trucks, but I think it makes them look less feminine. Maybe that's what some of them want.

If "real men" drive trucks, does that mean I'm gay if my girlfriend drives our truck? Am I only gay when she's behind the wheel, and straight at all other times, or am I always gay if she drives the truck at all? Does the fact that I'm not attracted to men enter the picture?

Being politically correct is such a chore these days.
