This is so sad. How many women don’t report to the police because of doubts that they will be believed? I have experienced this myself, multiple times.

I’m sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you were smart, kept your wits and protected yourself. It’s scary to imagine some women may not have had the same outcome that you did.

Amy, you’re victim-blaming and shaming and your definition of a sexual predator is out of date.

You’re not a feminist, Granny Smith, and you have no sense.

What’s empowering is culprit blaming. And culprits getting punished of course. You have it the other way around.

To answer your rhetorical question: it is in fact victim blaming. I hope you don’t have kids or else we’ll have a whole generation of people with busted, regressive logic.

What’s your problem with blaming shitty Airbnb service and horrible people for what they did? It’s almost as if you’re against culprit blaming. What a weird position to hold….

Trying to kiss me despite me declining is attempted sexual assault. His actions were of a predator. He was trying to lower my inhibitions. It’s as if you’re fighting for a cause to protect the culprits.

Or continue naively and obviously renting Airbnb’s and running into weirdo strangers, then blaming everyone else ..

In addition trying to kiss you is not sexual assault, and his actions were not of a sexual predator.

Thank you for the support Anne. I didn’t report him to the police because I don’t know if Mumbai police would take me seriously if I don’t have any evidence of his actions.

Oh thank you for showing your lack of humanity by actually bothering to comment about having no sympathy. Does it feel good Bren? You know people don’t deserve to be sexually assaulted for booking Airbnb rooms only to later find out the host is hush hush about being an Airbnb host.
