Political Correctness:

"the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against. "

Why would anyone intentionally not be politically correct. It's not a nefarious scheme. Just being sensitive to your fellow man.

My bold above. I will give 3 answers to your question.
1. I believe MY freedom of speech is impinged upon by other's desire to be treated in a particular way. This almost always flows in one direction only. There is generally no reciprocity of respect or tolerance or sensitivity.
2. The very definition notes that this is taken to extremes. That in itself is certainly a problem.
3. Perceived by whom? When? In what context? This seems to be an ever-growing and fast moving target, and frankly I have neither the time nor the inclination to keep up with every word or nuance or action that MAY somewhere upset or insult someone. Especially when they certainly are not showing the same respect or regard to me or society in general.

I don't go out of my way to intentionally be 'politically incorrect', but I will not have my Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of expression slowly whittled away by every special interest group, no matter how small, that is out there.

The entire notion that now the word FAMILY may be insulting or exclusionary to someone says it all to me. Funny how the same people who are now offended at the F word family are completely comfortable and go out of THEIR way to use the 'other' F word with complete impunity, anywhere and anytime, including directly to and in the presence of young children.

That is where this society is right now I suppose. We have a new 'F' word to avoid.

Family that.

I took a class well over 15 yrs ago and was told not to use "Master" so I just use M Bedroom, etc. I was also told in this class to no longer use "Walk in Closet" as not everyone can walk (true story).

I can't swim, so should I just call it the cement pond?

I just stopped using master bedroom and master bathroom. I never thought that some people might find that description offensive. I never paid attention to it in the past but when I look at agent floor plan drawings I notice they all label as owners bedroom and owners bathroom. I'll just do that too.

I always use Master Bedroom and Master Bath. I was unaware there's a sometimes problem until this moment.

There haven't been slaves here for over 150 years but Master is an issue.

Seems some are looking for a problem

Even though slavery was outlawed in 1863, some people became indebted to the landowners and were not allowed to leave but had to stay and work to pay off their debts. Something like an undisclosed debtors prison.

I do have to wonder if 'owner' would not be as offensive as 'master' to those who find it offensive.

About 7-8 years ago started using “Owner’s Bedroom” within sketch and interior room labels. Realtors often still use “Master Bedroom”.

It's probably best just to number bedrooms
since only the Master was delineated from the other bedrooms,

I blame it all on LSD. If you really have a problem with the term. You are seeing things that are not there.

Not to me. But then I was not directly impacted by events over the last 400 years.

Does one have to be "triggered" to do the right thing? What's the problem?

What's the problem? You telling people what the right thing is.
