There are 2 versions of the Wrangler.
1. Base model X and rubicons with tons of off market additions like extra large tires, lights, guard, etc so those real boys can take their jeeps for offroading.
2. Pretty stock Sahara models with navi, power windows/doors, hardtop to be driven in the city
For the latter, I don't think it's ultra-butch. In fact, I think it's quite gay
I've heard of Wranglers being gay because all the lesbos drive them and make them butch. However, we know that's not true because I've never met any lesbos who drive Wranglers
They are more popular among gay men
I'm still curious as to how the Wrangler became gay.
I don't think of a cowboy image as a gay icon---maybe the ones topless with tight jeans and body piercings
