I’m an advocate for better forms of transit around cities, using trains/buses rather than an SUV for everyone. But, I’m also aware that fears such as this are what drive the purchases of those iron tanks to help you get from point A to point B without incident.
Fears drive the sale of personal transportation? Where do you get that information? I work in the auto industry so im genuinely curious if you can point me to some further reading that helped form this opinion. Will make for some interesting conversations at the watercooler if you can help me with some solid articles.
Much appreciated if you got some
It comes from inference and remembered statistics, but: While critics of SUVs often expect they’re mostly purchased by fragile men looking to overcompensate, I’ve heard it said that a BIG demographic for their sales is to women - possibly more than men.
When they can convincingly make sales that occupants of their cars are safer, it kind of makes sense as a purchase, both for women themselves (looking not to get assaulted at random in their way to work, get crushed in a car accident by men with road rage) as well as mothers with children and a protective instinct.
It’s perhaps a more psychological expectation, but I can imagine that constant media that makes the world seem unsafe, and many SUV ads with women drivers add a lot to it. After many occasions of feeling exposed, they want some part of their life where they feel powerful, protected, and in control; something they don’t get from taking buses or trains, nor from smaller cars.
Ahh thats not gonna help me unfortunately but thanks for responding!
Are you careful with guns?
Do you need to know that the gun is not loaded before treating it as such?
