response: Unclear, but even the highest ranked workers such as a butler would be dismissed if they married!
original_response: Because they needed to devote all their time to the household. Even the highest-ranking workers, like butlers, could be dismissed if they married.
history: I am bored of my maids. But why? Also the word "maid" is a short for the word "maiden" which also means, "virgin". I don't know I just need a change I guess. How did that evolve into someone who cleans a house? I'm not sure, I know that workers such as footmen and maids were expected to remain single while working. Why did they need to remain unmarried?
knowledge: Domestic workers, particularly those low in the hierarchy, such as maids and footmen, were expected to remain unmarried while in service, and even highest-ranking workers such as butlers could be dismissed for marrying.
