Had the victim been a female we would have 100+ article stating that sharing economy is just another iteration of patriarchy, and PG gravelling and announcing startup batch for female exclusive sharing sites.
Maybe there's something we're missing?

I think I made a straw man!
This is the charitable interpretation of the, albeit somewhat delusional, grandparent (showsomeempathy greenie). Since I support charitable interpretations, I'll respond to it. I generally don't see the point in responding to nitpickers and uncharitable readers, hence the previous edit.
While true that I could have removed something nasty from my original comment, the truth is more mundane. Aside from the additional second paragraph, the only thing I substantially changed was the sentence you quoted.
> I think I made a straw man!
No, you are the nitpicker :) Implicit in the 100k big scale sentence is that (a) it's 100k or more (b) relative scale matters. I would consider having 100k people / night for an accommodation service to be big scale. More generally, it simply has no relevance (just like this whole subthread ;) for the point being made, hence the nitpicker designation.
EDIT: Lesson: never, under any circumstances, engage with trolls.
And when you fuck up as badly as you did, own it. You'll do better next time.

Not so sure about "but, man, sometimes you should iterate alone." Others learn from our failures.
