People are free to spend their money however they want.
If we start policing how people spend their money, you're subject to it as well. That beach vacation? That money could instead go to a scientist or artist who can study or paint the beach and share it with everyone.
They are free to spend their money on any stupid way they want. But they were plastering it all over the media and being all girl power gushy about it and calling themselves a “crew” when they were just tourists being flown around, so yeah they’re gonna get made fun of. If they had just quietly wasted their money without making a spectacle of themselves no one would have cared.

I don’t mean to be a jerk but it seems that you don’t recognize that this happens in regular life too. I would never waste my money and spend as much on a car as my neighbor did, for example. Why did they take *that* vacation- what a waste of money. And so on.

There are a million things men spend money on that we can point at and say "for what? Those resources can go to something else".
Overall we're fine if men choose to spend their money on season tickets, ATVs, video games, or any other number of wasteful hobbies. But women are expected to put their money towards helping others? Doesn't make sense to me.
I make fun of the men who “climb” Everest while being hauled up on the backs of their Sherpas.

Yet nobody said a thing over the past 10+ years when dozens of billionaire men have done the EXACT SAME THING. It's because it's women you've heard of. Such BS. Such misogyny and such hypocrites.
Men didn’t televise getting glammed up and singing.
So what? They were having a good time and advertising their friend's company. Who cares? People do this all the time. Again, tons of billionaire men wasting their money on all sorts of things (like hotels and failed casinos, for example) but they just get elected president.

Get real.
And yes, when Bezos went up into space I thought he was an idiot with his cowboy hat as well.
