Looks like cutman is just starting trouble - it says in his profile his JK is a stick!
If you read the initial post, I don't think it's intended to immascualte men, it is about the fun and nostalgia of driving a stick.
I prefer manuals because I feel more connected to my machine and have more control. You can't upshift an auto to 3rd to get more traction on a slick surface. If you're making a pass, you don't have to wait for it to downshift as you would in an auto - all automatic Jeeps (and most cars) have this issue, unless it's got a 'hemi' I suppose!
I'm with DunnyBunny though. If it's a Jeep, it catches my eye, and I give the Jeep wave not even thinking of the trans. It's a Jeep thing!
I have to throw this out there however. I taught my wife (then girlfriend) to drive a manual on my first Wrangler.
If she sees a guy with a bada$$ Jeep (or muscle car, Porsche, etc...), and it's an auto, she mumbles an adjective that I don't think I can post here - just sayin!

Here is my 2012 6 speed! Sometimes I wish I had an auto, as the auto is getting better and better in vehicles as the years go by! Especially in sports cars, GTR, Porsche, where the auto shifts faster than humanly possible! But I do and always will love the shifting of gears! (Even if it is slower)
