@APStylebook’s new terminology. This isn’t a joke:
“Don’t use the term ‘mistress’ for a woman who is in a long-term sexual relationship with, and is financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else. Instead, use an alternative like companion, friend or lover on first reference and provide additional details later.”
I’m guessing that this is because Kamala Harris was a 29 year old mistress to the married Willie Brown — who gave her a BMW and her first two political appointments. It was so out in the open, Herb Caen used to write about it in the Chronicle.I don’t understand why the #metoo supporters don’t savage this kind of behavior. Sends a great message. Apparently, it’s horrifying and jail-worthy for a powerful man to demand sexual favors in exchange for favorable treatment (obviously it is), but it’s perfectly acceptable for a woman to offer sexual favors in exchange for favorable treatment. -

I think this kind of gets to the heart of the behavioral side you refer to. I’ve pointed out the mental health issues in play in places like Portland and Seattle. It’s in the US Congress too.
