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.

We live closer in time to the first T-Rex than the first T-Rex does to the last Stegosuraus
No way T-Rex did high fives
Due to its tiny arms and non-pentadigit hands the T-Rex would commonly high five with its teeth. This lead to the T-Rex being unfortunately labeld a carnivore.
They were just threes
And not so high; more close.
