That... was a little bit different kind of a read from normal.
Perhaps... maybe it's a very limited "cultural" thing somewhere?
Based on an inbox that receives many things, particularly including
news, from around the World, I could see that *maybe* occurring... in
a very limited capacity... somewhere.
I've been on a couple listservs geared solely toward female techs...
#1) Free travel has never not once been a topic of conversation.. Not
once never.
#2) Those lists have notoriously been pretty darn quiet all these
years... to the point that I often forget I'm a member....
Because my fellow(ette) female list members are too busy mixing it up
elsewhere all around the Net in more globally focused mainstream
circles.
And still when I encounter their work out there all around and about
the entire of the entire W-W-W, never not once... have the words...
free travel... bubble type burped to the crest of trending
conversations.
Uh-uh. Nope. Not once never.
Just thinking out loud.... :)
