Well, I would like to start off by thanking restrained for starting this thread, I believe it is something that needs to be discussed. I have found the topic thought provoking so far.
I grew up with a Marine for a father, so i have been comfortable with the address of Sir/Ma'am, but i reserve Master for the Man i submit fully to. I consider it polite form of address, nothing more. I am one of those to asked restrained if she had hidden dominant tendencies. What i was referring to her being a strong woman who knows what she wants. Does that necessary make her dominant? No, i know many submissives who are strong women, and some dominants want/desire a strong, confident woman their side. I meant it as a compliment to restrained, am somewhat sorry that it caused restrained to question her submission, but am also glad that i made her think what her submission means to her.
huggles and kisses
