Posted as our TKC answer to the fading Sunday "homes" section in dead-tree media with special thanks to our BEST & BRIGHTEST TKC READERS. And so we'll take a quick big picture look at the real estate industry which has been forced to change with the times amid an overall COLLAPSE in the American housing market amid the pandemic.
Here's a change in progress . . .
Texas Realtors Will Stop Using 'Master' to Describe Bedrooms, Bathrooms
Real estate association reasoning . . .
"The MLS Advisory Group regularly reviews the terms and fields used in the MLS to make sure they are consistent with the current market environment. The updates to Primary Bedroom and Primary Bath were among nine requests for review that were submitted by members and considered at the most recent meetings. It was not a new suggestion to review the terminology. The overarching message was that some members were concerned about how the terms might be perceived by some other agents and consumers. The consensus was that Primary describes the rooms equally as well as Master while avoiding any possible misperceptions.”
This term is no big loss but should remind some of our more critical readers that the concept of servants & masters has existed throughout recorded human history in virtually every culture the world has ever seen . . . And so, erasing the language and symbols of this ancient and barbaric institution might be satisfying but won't ever eliminate the idea or practice of inequality.
You decide . . .
NO SALE!
ReplyDeleteDumbest thing I ever heard.
ReplyDelete733 LOL where have you been...there is no bounds to the woke sjw stupidity...it's hard to tell fact from satire.
Delete^^^^I agree
ReplyDeleteWe should name it the dirty white short peni room.
ReplyDeleteSounds fair to me!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. They might want to get it straight, there is a difference between Master Bedroom and Master's Bedroom which is what I think they mean. These people are just being ignorant. They have the BFS...Byron Funkhouser Syndrome.
You mean no more Master locks either?
ReplyDeleteCall it what you want. I will call mine “the room where I fuck married Leawood sluts”.
ReplyDeleteOh good Lord... this raises ridiculous to a whole new level.
ReplyDeleteWait until somebody gets offended by "mud rooms." Mud is brown, you know. It's offensive to dark-skinned people.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of garbage is going to continue and get worse and worse; and more vocal and intense, until the rest of society starts telling the people pushing this insanity to “SHUT UP AND GET LOST!!!”
ReplyDeleteThat’s what the rest of us who know better need to start saying; then turn around and ignore them.
Don’t give them an audience!
ReplyDeletehope the SJWs don't go after "master-bating" next..
in that case --we're ALL racist!
"...there is a difference between Master Bedroom and Master's Bedroom."
ReplyDeleteNo, you stupid motherfucker, there isn't.
I'm pretty sure my IQ is higher than yours.
^^Only in your world is that true Byron. The rest of us see it how it really is.
ReplyDeleteNow the squirrels like Byron are attacking John Wayne.
Ok, this is just stupid.
ReplyDeleteThere's probably some more worthwhile causes to focus anger towards out there. This ain't it.
Not even Byron. Only your level of stupidity is higher than any other. You are the only person that doesn't clue in.
ReplyDeleteThere IS a difference between "Master Bedroom" and "Master's Bedroom".
ReplyDeletewhat should people with a master's degree do?
ReplyDeletewill umkc re-issue diplomas?
to learn (something) completely : to get the knowledge and skill that allows you to do, use, or understand (something) very well
ReplyDeleteThe dealership where I work as an automotive technician just sent an email informing the staff to not use the term "slave cylinder" in written or spoken communication!
ReplyDeleteWheel cylinder? But there isn't really another name for the master cylinder.
ReplyDeleteis mastermind still allowed?
ReplyDeletemixmaster for baking?
ReplyDeleteSo, who's that "Diversity Is Our Strength" working for everybody ? Isn't it just awesome ?
ReplyDeleteSeparate but equal? No, but really yes.
Deleteexpert and main seem like good adjectival synonyms.
ReplyDeletelike expert plumber and main bedroom.
I thought I was being progressive when I started calling fixing something in the field"afro engineering"instead of what I used to call it.
ReplyDeletepeople today don't label themselves as masters of their dog but parents.
ReplyDeleteyou can tell it hurts people to think when they complain that spreading germs and viruses is their 1st Amendment Right
