What a completely bizarre thing to say.

The word "slave" doesn't have a whole slew of homonyms with different
meanings. Only one verb.

So where "slave" has been used, it often does have the connotation that
you want to Bowdlerise. While the various other words spelled "master"
don't have that connotation at all.

If you don't understand the distinction, you really don't seem to have
been listening at all.
