  1. Nah, let’s stop the fake ‘gender’ or ‘generational’ culture war stuff; it’s a class war. The rich are traveling and living luxuriously, and they should; the poor are suffering, and they deserve better. Everyone, within reason, should get to experience ‘the world.’ Stop vilifying your fellow humans.

  2. Increasingly, travelers are women.

    As with many things, this is less about who is traveling as opposed to why they are traveling.

  3. More women are getting college degrees, too. That helps pay for the travel. Women are not having kids or putting off having kids. That makes traveling easier. More women seeing the world seems to be a proper conclusion.
