      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.

      I think if you want to avoid the term “mistress” but convey its meaning you’re going to need a clunkier replacement than this, such as “partner in an extramarital affair.”

          Also, I don’t think the term “mistress” necessarily connotes financial support?

          There’s also something funny about “provide details later,” like it’s saying AP stories about mistresses need to be dishier than they are now.

          What's the point of having a mistress if she’s not referred to as your mistress?

          I'm gonna go with "side action" or "concubine."

          I've always preferred the nongendered "paramour."
