    Where I live, this is common and unnoticed. I see plenty of VW vans being driven by a mother on her way to the store after dropping off the kids at school. Maybe pickup trucks outrank those in other countries, but the mindset is all the same.

    I’m not trying to apologize for trucks, but we need to expand our view.

          Your “point” was dumb and no one was willing to let you know. I didn’t miss it, I dodged it.
