I don’t do that, but you asked not about me, but about most people. It is primal. It goes back to before we stood on two legs. Humans have always placed themselves, and each other at varied levels of value. Human sacrifice to the gods, kings and emporeres, women follow their mates, kids follow them. We haven’t always used the same measure, but we have always measured. It used to be, in certain civilizations, particularly England, offspring were considered to inherit the life skills of their parents, and would not likely be suitable for anything else. You weren’t only judged by your occupation, you were born to it, and therefore your ultimate station in life. Big sigh. Considering how long this has gone on, and on, I would say any degree we’ve moved from that way of thinking is a plus. It can be unfortunate, sometimes, but there is a purpose. The best way to see that certain people get some very important respect, we have to place certain professions higher in the scheme of things. Police, firefighters, leaders of nations, religious leaders, all require an abundance of respect to be at all effective.
By the way, I always sort of figured that the reason women are supposed to follow men is because they won’t pick up after themselves, so that puts us there handy to do it.
I’m sorry you are unhappy. Personally, I’ve always thought of truck drivers as being very skilled individuals, til recent years. Lately, there are schools putting through guys who should not drive, and skilled drivers too soon.
