Primary and Replica accomplishes the same goal but don't get weighed down with "what is a slave" or "why is the master in control of the slave".
Yeah, its a little inconvenient, but making software more inclusive is a pretty worthy goal and it wont take long to update the majority of tools and texts.
Staying comfortable because its convenient, while it makes other people uncomfortable, is probably why software is still largely a white male industry.
