Houston Realtors to drop the term "master" bedroom

The Houston Association of REALTORS® says it will stop permitting the term “master bedroom” or “master bathroom” to be used in MLS descriptions. The decision to remove the term comes after a group of real estate professionals said the term “master” on property description represents a potential stigma.
HAR has updated the phrase to “primary bedroom” and “primary bath” on its MLS and on har.com.
The national standards organization for MLSs is reportedly considering a similar change that would make “primary” the new standard nationwide.
“‘Master’ represents a stigma and place in time that we need to move forward from,” Tiffany Curry, a Houston real estate broker and owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, told the Houston Chronicle. “As a progressive, diverse city, Houston should be reflective of its citizenship.”
Some home builders are dropping the term, too. David Weekley Homes now refers to the space as the “owner’s retreat” instead.

In cars, the master cylinder and slave cylinder will now be the “firewall mounted brake cylinder and the transmission housing mounted brake cylinder”.

As juvenile as this appears, it matters a lot. More evidence that they are winning.
We let them own the language and history, they eventually own us.

10 years ago I told my solar guy he will soon have to quit using the long standing electricians lingo of master and slave. He said, “Huh?”

“Lord” will also have to go, then. How dare we pray to an upper-class deity?
