Racist, sexist ‘master bedroom’ no longer politically correct
bizpac ^ | Cheryl Carpenter Klimek

The PC police are at it again. In the continuing endeavor to rid the English vernacular of anything that could be offensive, the term “master bedroom” is being phased out of use in residential real estate, according to the Baltimore Business Journal.

Instead, builders are starting to use the term “owner’s suite” or “owner’s bedroom” to describe the largest bedroom in a home. A survey found that six out of 10 major Washington, D.C.-area homebuilders are making the change on their floor plans.

The reason given is that “master” is seen as offensive on two fronts: in gender, where it tends to sound masculine, and in race, where it conjures images of the slave-master.

These people are just too stupid. The phrase is “master bedroom” and not “master’s bedroom”.

What next? Am I forbidden to say “master plan”?

How about “master key”? “Master cylinder”? “Master switch”? This stupid, childish, and paranoid crap needs to go!

Then, there’s the “Master’s golf tournament”, “master plan”, “Master padlock”, or, “master baiting (for fishermen)”

How about ‘Debtors Room’?
or ‘Mortgage Payer Bedroom’?

and if the house is paid off...’Title Bearer Bedroom’...

Either way it can be called the ‘Taxpayer Bedroom’

Elmer Fudd asks, Would “Wimp Woom” satisfy all you PC harpies?

Or perhaps for all those metrosexuals who spend their night curled up in the fetal position, how about “Wimp Womb”?

Well, OK. I suppose “sex dungeon” is gender-neutral.

Owners are OK as long as the owned is not a living thing.

How about this?

Call it “largest bedroom in the house”

That way no way is offended except the children who have smaller bedrooms. They don’t count and should be lucky to be alive and not aborted

LIB pinheads are soooo obsessed with their own inadequacy, confusion and uncertainty.
