I don't know how manly you can consider yourself if all it takes is for women to start driving a vehicle for you to then consider it a woman's vehicle. What are you "men" then left with? Women drive pickups too.
I mean it doesn't take a genius to look at the changes made from the YJ to the TJ and then from the TJ to the JK and all the modern versions and see that they started making them for women. Jeeps started getting popular with women, and they figured out that they could sell a frick ton of more Jeeps by making them more"woman friendly". I don't really blame them for that, but it's still just a simple fact. They're still badass off-road vehicles, just with a softer aesthetic.
The problem is that they took what was a bare bones off-road vehicle with a pretty low entry price, added a million creature comforts, tripled the price, and completely changed the dynamic of the entire Jeep driver culture.
Is what it is though. Progress and all that.

This!!
In 1986 I bought a '75 CJ-5 for $800. I drove it all of high school.
304, T-3 transmission, Dana rear, Spicer front, 35" super swamper TSL's, manifolds coming out forward of rear tires, no top, no doors, and a Rockford fosgate system. It never got washed and was covered in mud unless it rained. I could pop wheelies in the damn thing. It was a panty dropper back in the day. All girls like Jeeps.
Jeeps were known to break but easy as hell to fix for anyone with half a brain. I remember changing the transfer case out in the school parking lot after school one day.
You can't work on shite anymore.
