I experience the same thing here in your redneck neighbor state of OK... sometimes. Sometimes cars seem nicer when it's just me, sometimes they seem to be more aggressive when a man is with me. I guess it just depends on which type of redneck it is: the bully who will pick on anyone, the mommas boy who won't mess with a woman, or the male dominant type who likes to pick on men in spandex. It's always a gamble who you'll get.
