Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

So it is not actually about the bag or it's size or weight, it is about the relative weight of the bag to the persons strength? Massive guy: big and heavy bag. Tiny woman: small and light bag. Correct?
No
Wheels enable people to pack too much stuff, since they don't have to carry it
People should either pack less or check their bags
If you are not CARRYING it. It is not a CARRY-ON.
Semantics, but also if you disagree, you should be up voting the post and telling me you hate me
Reminder that this is unpopular opinion
You say no, but what you then say seems to agree with what I say: A massive person could have a big bag far larger than what is allowed now and vice versa with a small person.
But now it seems to revolve around the "carry" part, you think that this is specifically about carrying something, as "without touching the ground". Since carry has more meanings than this very specific one, that is where you are incorrect. Have a look here.
So tiny women are incapable of being strong?
As strong as a big guy, yes.
You aren't going to pack as much muscle on someone that's 5 feet tall as you will on someone 5'8".
Also, if you use muscle mass as the metric for "tiny", as in thin, then decidedly not, since that's the fundamental requirement for strength, muscle mass. A "big" woman is stronger than a "tiny" woman.
