People often wonder and sometimes challenge the rule we have for Turian kajirae where they are not allowed to address Freewomen with the most common honorific of Mistress but instead are required to call them Lady. There are two primary reasons for this rule. First, because many associate the term Mistress with dominance, and we firmly believe in the natural order, that honorific seems very inconsistent with how we conduct ourselves. Second, Mistress was a term not only used for Freewomen but also for another kajira who had some power over a girl whereas Lady was a term reserved exclusively for a Freewoman. To my mind, that makes Lady the more proper and courteous title, fully recognizing the status of a Gorean Freewoman.
