“The house is well suited for couples, solo travelers adventurers, families (with children) and furry friends (pets).”
Each of these categories (and more) should be boiler-plate poll options on each review.
continued to berate me ....
... I, with increasingly emphatic tone
... I suggested that Philippe amend
... He stated that he could not do this.
Then after I threatened his income, he dropped his courteous facade...
I also think "know your type" was more AirBNB contextual than gender contextual, and I hope your outrage considers that ;)
If a woman other than an account holder suffers abuse at the hands of an AirBnb host, it does not seem possible for her to submit a complaint to AirBnb directly.
Isn't it "if a person other than an account holder"?
... and wouldn't there be a close enough relationship with the account holder for said account holder to handle the administration of that complaint, and also kinda be morally responsible to do so?
The armchair-quarterback aspect of public social networking is also a feature of the blockchain :)
It doesn't matter one bit if "know your type" was gender contextual or income contextual. It was still a grossly inappropriate thing to say to anyone, male or female, and discourse of this nature has no business whatsoever in any professional arena.
@grimgriz, as much as it may chafe some people, this situation had as much to do with my gender as it did with the misrepresentation of fact in the AirBnb description. It also has to do with my handicap--I am medically disabled--and the host was informed of this. Being left without my assistance animal is equatable to a paraplegic being told he can only use his wheelchair in a certain area of the establishment. This is wrong on every level. I did not immediately associate Philippe's nastiness toward me with the fact that I'm female until he blatantly ignored communication from me and began to speak only with the lone male in our group. Any woman who has ever received this kind of treatment from a bigot will instantly sympathize with my outrage. Any man who's ever been treated so dismissively will also sympathize. It's disgraceful, unprofessional, and should not be tolerated in modern free society.
As far as whether or not the account holder will/should file a complaint--I can't speak for him. In this case he was aware of the verbal exchange, but what if either verbal or physical abuse happened out of the account holder's sight, and the victim did not want to disclose it to them? Does that mean the victim is not entitled to a private, independent voice? These are all things I've considered at great length before going public with this post. No one--male, female, black, white, handicapped or physically fit--should have to rely on another person to speak for them in such a situation. It's utterly appalling that AirBnb has no system in place to deal with this type of instance.

I live in a world where they make children into sex slaves, but I understand the experience was difficult for you.

Civilized behavior has to start somewhere. Once it's achieved, it also has to be defended, otherwise they'll be selling children into slavery on the open market in France, too.
I come from a world where people kill pets just because they become inconvenient. This doesn't mean I will tolerate someone beating their dog just because I've seen worse. Tolerance of third-world behavior sustains third-world living conditions. I'm sorry you choose to live in such a morally-bankrupt society and that you don't speak out against the atrocities you witness. Let's just say that I'm really glad you weren't the account holder in this recent incident with the AirBnb host. If so, I'd have no chance whatsoever of making the problem known.
