    Back before the 1970’s if a woman was travelling she’d have her husband or a porter carry her bags. With the rise of women travelling alone there was suddenly a market for wheeled bags. Men didn’t want them because they made men look too weak to carry their own luggage.

      Fellas is it weak to not carry your 50lb suitcase everywhere? Definitionally yes but oh my god how fragile.
