AP revises its stylebook to outlaw the use of the word ‘mistress.’ Hilarity ensues AP revises its stylebook to outlaw the use of the word ‘mistress.’ Hilarity ensues

@APStylebook We now say not to use the archaic and sexist term "mistress" for a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with, and financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else. Instead, use an alternative like companion or lover on first reference. Provide details later.

Professor Margot Cleveland quickly and brilliantly figured out why this change was announced now:

So apparently AP thinks @SenKamalaHarris will be Biden's pick and they're making sure everyone know proper language to use in discussing her political rise to power.

Creative lying is what the AP Stylebook is all about.

Bastardizing the language to obscure the truth.

Sen camel-a-hair-a## will be Biden’s pick and they’re making sure everyone know proper language to use in discussing her political rise to power.

She will be addressed as follows: BUM BITCH HOE

Well,

Our share of the global GDP is shrinking.

The percentage of technical and engineering patents that are US is shrinking in relationship to the rest of the world.

Areas that once we dominated by the US technologically we today face competition in and there are others that in some aspects have pulled ahead of us.

But... we have a lot of PhD’s changing the style/manner in how something should be written. LOL

Add this to the legions of worthless counselors, useless psychologists, EEO representatives, and kids graduating with $100K of debt that can’t get a job with their degree in womyns studies.

2 things Kamala “blowjob extraordinaire” Harris used to rise to power.... her knees and her mouth.

And, she didn’t seem to mind if the limo driver had a view of it or not.

Tempest in a teapot. AP would never discuss the fact that Harris rose to the top by sleeping with the boss so the word mistress was never going to be used anyway.

Are you lost?

We’re talking about Kamala Harris, not Tara Reade.

Well, I guess I appreciate the guidance as far as it goes, but I sure wish it were more detailed. I was unable to get direction on ‘opportunistic politislut’ or ‘hypocritical round-heeled collectivist harpy’.
