I originally came across this because they are removing the use of the word "Master" which seemed an overcorrection to me in the context but after reading...it is enlightening how these issues are perceived by those marginalized and how systemic (outline.com)

Wine is not the problem. A-holes are the problem. A-holes are ALWAYS the problem. -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 08:25
Sometimes I think some of these things are overdoing it, but then based on history and current I decide it's best to err on the side of overcorrecting -- nm - Dano Jun 23, 07:31
Yeah, using "master" as a title is one thing, but requiring people to call you that is another. -- nm - mara Jun 23, 07:23 2

- I was prepared to roll my eyes, but yeah, the addressing is bullshit, especially in what's ultimately an educational context. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 07:24
Wine has an elitist history. -- nm - budice Jun 23, 07:19 1

I bet they are horse people -- nm - crash davis Jun 23, 07:17 2
