PMA Texas Realtor group will no longer use the term “master” in description of their homes, according to Realtors and media reports.What were once called master bedrooms and master bathrooms are now referred to as primary bedrooms and primary bathrooms by the Houston Association of Realtors.
The group made the change following a review of terminology, according to KPRC. It has been a topic of discussion for several years, the agency said.“The overarching message was that some members were concerned about how the terms might be perceived by some other agents and consumers” according to a statement HAR sent members.
“The consensus was that ‘primary’ describes the rooms equally as well as ‘master’ while avoiding any possible misperceptions.
”The phrase “master bedroom” was first used in a 1926 Sears catalog, according to real estate blog Trelora.com. The catalog referred to a room in a Dutch’s colonial house as the “master’s” bedroom, the blog states.
Realtors will not be fined for using the “master bedroom” or “master bathroom” terms and the term is not completely banned. The only changes were through its online platform.

Oh me,oh my....Whats next?
Words have meaning until they don’t.
Photographers use slave flash bulbs.
Time to abolish photographers.
Masturbation, of course!
Mental Primarybation.
Other terms soon to be dropped: Master cylinder, MasterCard, master-bate
They should call it the Big Bedroom.
Nope. That won’t work. Guys who aren’t “well endowed” will be offended.
What I want to know is why, if Mom and Dad always get the “Master Bedroom,” then why aren’t the kids’ bedrooms called the “Slave Bedrooms”?
How many times have we heard our kids yell “I’m not your slave!?” If they consider themselves slaves, then shouldn’t they be sleeping in the slave quarters?
“Flash bulbs”
What’s a “flash bulb”?
Juan more time....
“Leftism is a violent and severe mental disorder”
“””What were once called master bedrooms and master bathrooms are now referred to as primary bedrooms and primary bathrooms by the Houston Association of Realtors.”””
This is the garbage that happens when too many people have too much time on their hands.
I have found during my work life, when people are busy at work, politics inside and outside the workplace goes away.
My husband has a Master’s Degree......oops!
“Off to your left is da room where you be sleepin’ at...”
BLM called them racist. That’s why you don’t know about them.
Will academia denounce the Masters degree, even when it describes mastery of a subject?

Will the Term “Master Bedroom” No Longer Exist?
Some designers, architects, developers are moving towards a more politically-correct term for the largest room in the house.

Neurotic behavior is becoming the norm. Our society obsesses and frets over everything, even the trivial and imaginary stuff.
“What’s a “flash bulb”?”
