I always thought it was a combination of masculine insecurities and one upping your neighbors.

Edit: lifted trucks, after market front bars, louder exhaust with larger exhaust tips, truck nuts, American flags or thin blue line flags covering the rear window.. None of these are from government regulations

The masculine insecurities / penis size thing seems awfully unscientific to me. It's basically just a slur.

It's not as simplistic as "penis size" it's part of a culture where being manliness and independence is valued. People are also told we need to be tougher and how we are losing what makes America great.

For example "In the trailer for "The End of Men," Tucker Carlson worries about "the total collapse of testosterone levels in American men,"

Pretty sure he's talking about the literal levels from blood tests. It is actually a very concerning issue.
