Mistress Revival

• Sex Workers

I was just thinking last night how odd it was that a term historically used to describe a kept woman has become a title used by dominant women.

China's economy is soaring and married men are acquiring pretty, young "second wives." This has proven a boon for Chinese private investigators.

China's economic boom has led to a revival of the 2-millennium-old tradition of "golden canaries," so called because, like the showcase birds, mistresses here are often pampered, housed in love nests and taken out at the pleasure of their "masters."

Concubines were status symbols in imperial China. After the Communists took power, they sought to root out such bourgeois evils, even as Chairman Mao Tse-tung reportedly kept a harem of peasant women into his old age.

Now, mistresses have become a must-have for party officials, bureaucrats and businessmen. ...

So-called concubine villages — places where lotharios keep "second wives" in comfort and seclusion — are now spread across the nation, in booming cities such as Dongguan, Chengdu and Shanghai.

Mistresses are again a status symbol in China

i think this is a great idea, that way the girl knows her place and is actually more secure for the 1st wife.

Mistress is just the female version of 'master' so it's the people who used it for concubines who have hijacked the word :)

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Mistress Revival. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
