I’m more concerned about my master degree

  Or master copy, or master tradesman. All this "inclusive terminology" is really the puritanism of the 21st century.

    I don't think anyone is proposing that the verb "to master" or noun "master" (original, or expert) is problematic. It's only when used in the separate sense specifically opposite "slave". There's no need to caricature or misrepresent the POV that you obviously disagree with here.

        You know... as soon as I wrote "I don't think anyone" I thought to myself... well surely some single individual somewhere probably actually has... and someone will find it for me. So thanks. ;)

      It is. Plenty of people are renaming the "master" branch in git to something else even though it has no relation to master/slave

        Yeah - that's exactly like "master recording". Countering slavery is hard. Let's go renaming!

  And what do we do with Master of Puppets?

  Better not use a debit card with an 'oppressive' Mastercard logo on it. /s Which means Monzo, Apple, Starling, N26 and Revolut are all 'complicit' with working with Mastercard to continue to oppress the offended. Time for a rename. /s
