Got a problem with the word 'webmisstress?'

Yes, just as I have a problem with the word "webmaster", which is a misleading term invented to make early internet literate people look more knowledgeable than they actually were. I mean, it sounded really impressive in 1992..."webmaster!" Why..we even have a guild!
Now gimmie some moneh!

In truth, A "webmaster" is a master of nothing, and certainly not a master of the web.

The vernacular of some words, especially internet words, never ceases to make me smile, i.e., turning a company name into a verb such as: "Googling."



"Webmistress".., another "made up term", denotes a gender specific origin role to an activity to which it is not necessary.
We wouldn't say "Car-washtress" or "Lawn-Mower-Maiden", would we? Would we say "Doctress" or "Post-Mistress?" Or Kendress?

In fact, certain feminists would argue that it is just this sort of politically correct assignments of genderless activities which actually hinder the cause of female equality rather than bolster it.

But the real reason I bring it up.....

..It sounds really naughty....
