APStylebook: We now say not to use the archaic and sexist term "mistress" for a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with, and financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else.

It looks like we disagree, but life is like that. I hope you have a fantastic month, year, and decade.

Some people will slavishly follow APStylebook's proclamation--or any kind of groupthink.

If you want your collage paper to have a grade above zero you must use the AP format.

I have been warning about this for over a decade. Once you control how people write you control how they think. This is why so many kids from conservative families come back from collage liberal.

Some of many different ways men are different than women.

My English 101 teacher said that a mistress is what is found between a mister and a mattress.

Good one.
