I think it would honestly depend on the relationship and the level of relationship you have as well as what part of the personality the request to "change" has been made.
I can only truly speak from personal experience but I've had vanilla relationships in which my partner attempted to change every facet of me, which of course didn't go well. My Sir, however, had only ever asked that I 1. stop cutting myself 2. that if I felt the need to punish myself (which I tended to take way over the top) I take it to him and allow Him to punish me if it was deserved.
Does your level of dominance to women include being aggressive to them? Or rude? Perhaps that's what part of the issue is? I would speak to your Master about what He expects of you when it comes to letting go of your dominance. Sub doesn't mean a doormat but there may be some ways of speaking to others that may come across badly.
I'm fairly dominant to women unless they are older than myself, and then it's a matter of social politeness (I'm from the South) and respect for elders than necessarily being submissive to them. I personally have some issues with women, particularly with trust, however I still maintain an air of politeness with them.
