Male vs female hosts

[Zandra]

Emily…you started with the snarkiness when you called putting tampons in a bin gross! Normal body function; you used the label not me

I did wonder why a woman’s natural body function should be labelled gross though, hence why I asked what else counted as gross… after all if you can accept using the loo isn’t gross, then why should using a bin to dispose of something be gross?

Emily didn’t start the snarkiness. She simply described what she does to be a good guest. You personally insulted her with absolutely no provocation. I don’t think that women need to “educate” other women whom they don’t know on how they should feel about bodily waste.

Ah… could you point to the insult please EllenN?

EDIT:

I didn’t level any personal insults. By contrast, in a post you have liked Emily has called me: rude, nasty, offensive, not very lady-like, with a low level of maturity and ungracious. Apparently I have to accept Emily’s attitude towards feminine products being put in a waste bin without asking questions (and let’s be honest gross is not a neutral word), yet Emily is allowed to respond with as many names as she likes. And naturally, I’m the one who personally insulted her.

I’d agree. Emily telling me (a woman she doesn’t know) it’s gross to put women’s products in a bin falls under ‘educating me’, and as it happens I don’t agree. Therefore, it’s a comment I can reasonably question.

I normally agree with most of what you say @EllenN you’re consistently a voice of reason on the forums; I have to disagree with you with this one though. C’est la vie.

@Zandra

ust out of interest - do you also avoid using the loo in a hosts home because it’s gross? How about having sex? Is that gross too?

This is the insult:

I assume that this is Emily’s comment that you are referring to:

I won’t bother to respond to your nasty comments @Zandra about not using the toilet etc by your own admission you’re not very ‘lady-like’ but that just shows a really low level of maturity.

Emily quoted you on being “unladylike” whatever that means. She said that your comments showed a low level of maturity. I don’t see where she called you rude, nasty, with a low level of maturity and/or ungracious.

Used feminine products in the trash are gross after a short while. They smell bad, Also, if there is a dog on the premises and that trash can isn’t Fort Knox, the tampon or pad will be shredded all over the house.

From my perspective, its a question. Admittedly a leading question…because I can’t see how one is acceptable and not the other.

And Emily’s response in which she levels personal insults is simply, in your view, a ‘comment’? O.K.

Let’s agree to disagree on this one. If there’s a dog on the property theres a live-in host changing the bins; if there’s a guest on their own they’re also changing the bins because they know they’ve put a degradable product in the bin.

Meanwhile there are homeless people looking for food/items to sell such as plastic in the public bins and finding Emily’s waste products. Ah well. Lucky them!
