The sharing economy is based on trust. Unfortunately there is some cultural baggage around this, but it is no fault of Airbnb. I reserve the right to discriminate who can stay at my house. Similarly, when I am traveling as a solo (white) dude, I expect that it is tough to find a place to stay on Airbnb.

If someone rejects me, no big deal. Sexist? Probably but I understand.
