Hate to sound like a preachy a-hole. But.... Sorry. Not buying into this one. I think elevation of these women is just an unrealistic self-imposed way of putting objects of desire on a pedestal. Don't mean to sound harsh, but it is just wickedly unrealistic. These women aren't exalted. They are humans, with flaws like all of us. However... each one is special like every other human is special. It is about respect for the actual individual, not the ideal of what some perv needs that individual to be. Do I respect all of the ladies of the fortress? Absolutely. 100%. But, not simply because of a job they do. But because they are genuinely intelligent, funny, compassionate, and slightly off than your average person. If you need to prefix someone with the phrase "Mistress" then... awesome. If that's your kink, then go for it. But, also try to see and appreciate these women for the real, human, snowflakes that they are.
