Real Estate Political Correctness: ‘Master Bedroom’ Becomes ‘Owner’s Suite’



Anyone can own a house. Why, women are even allowed to own property all by ourselves now! That’s why we suppose it’s good that The word “master,” with its connotations of slaveholding and maleness, is slowly fading from its intended use in the residential real estate business.

The term means a bedroom with bathroom attached and enough closet space for two people, a room intended for the couple who are at the head of a household. The Washington Business Journal notes that at least one architect stopped using the M word back in the ’90s, and the new usage has spread among home builders.

another portion of the 60 year leftist plot to redefine all that is good and holy about the One Master/One woman marriage. Now they're taking over the sacrament of the conjugal bed, next it is sure to be Marxism or dare I say it . . . Hitler?

So you actually think this absurdity is not only ok, but a good thing?

My fourth "iggy" ever (or is it fifth now?...

Buh-bye!

I am beyond words as to what to say about this absurdity. I'll tell you one thing, I won't buy a house that doesn't call it the master bedroom. I probably wouldn't have noticed, so thanks for pointing it out. I think this sort of political correct extremism, and obviously there's no other term for it, will still annoy the majority of the public if they are made aware of it.

I've been aware of the extremist control of architecture schools for a long time, but this is beyond the pale of bizarre and incredible. I predict that will finally provoke a backlash, like when they tried to change the name of some of those sports teams with American Indian names. This stuff just goes too far, and even the usually braindead lib-loving moron public says "whoa, this is ridiculous."

 

[renard_ruse]

This will go the way of "womyn" and ebonics in school. It will be a bridge too far. Or at least I hope so, what a sad shame if an enriching old term is lost for no good reason.

 

[renard_ruse]

Cue, Merc14 to deny that its about political correctness at all. I'm sure there will some sort of convoluted explanation.

People fuss about everything.

Something came up a while back about Tampa, the chamber of commerce or whomever wanted to call Tampa the GATEWAY TO SOUTH FLORIDA or whatever, and people from Miami pissed and moaned till someone pointed out that the University of South Florida is in Tampa.
