"Mistress Bedroom" would have a whole different connotation, I think.

How about a Murphy Bed? Is that stereotyping Irish as too drunk to make it home and need a place to flop?

If “master” is objectionable, would not “owner” be worse? And there is a difference between master and master’s.

This is all just trying to deflect from real problems. “Look what a big move we’ve made to eliminate social ills.”

Next we’ll be worrying that left lane and right lane are too political.

Personally, I am installing a camera in the eyes of my porch monkey, to keep an eye on these miscreants. And it is a "cape cod," named after the whitest neighborhood in New England.

"Show me where the bad words hurt you."

If people's skin gets any thinner their bones will fall out.

After that line is where a gentleman I met in the 60s would roll up his sleeve and show you the tatoo he received at a work camp (They were different than concentration camps) in Germany during WWII

Even back then he gave talks to church groups and civic associations about how words can hurt and Goebbels and company knew how to make them hurt.

But that is getting far afield from the topics we all came here to discuss

You "own" that skill now.

Oh, wait. That doesn't work either.

Well, it's for the best if you don't do anything better than anyone else, anyway.

I would imagine as soon as a coalition of men named John or or a coalition of men who frequent prostitutes get a protest going and the TV cameras cover it.
