I started the thread, because I was curious if there was any lore attached to it. Apologies if my comment was written in away to suggest I had already made up my mind. I also attached some very sarcastic comments, because I appreciated the humor, not necessarily agreed with it. I will try to emphasize my sarcasm better in the future. And yes I appreciated your comment, and unless I mis-read it, your suggesting it's been that way since the beginning. It may have been just a fact of life courtesy, therefore no explanation has been needed or given. Also, I again was being sarcastic in suggesting the queen/princess titles should be changed. I was using it as an illustration, nothing more. Just to clarify, I am not at all bothered by, female officers being called sir, it just sounds odd when I hear it. I also have no problem at all with women in leadership roles, as they can be very capable. I have had several Chiefs, Senior Chiefs and Master Chiefs that I have the upmost respect for and have enjoyed working with.

I haven't run into anyone calling a ma'am, a sir I the navy, but then again I'm a dirt sailor, never been on a ship. I've had pretty limited contact with Airedales and fleeters.

@ Brandonspikes- suddenly i'm afraid to hit the flirt button (jk) @ Polebreaker- worshipfulness should be an actual title (jk) @ Pyromanen- thanks, I'll see if I can wiki it or something. I may have missed it when I was doing the quests @ everyone else- thanks for the thoughts and insight, may never know the real answer, but it may have been intentional and not just an oversight @ Relai- I do believe you may have found the true answer, right In front of everyone's faces..... It is a mans world. Well done. *applause* (Just kidding )

I'm not sure if it's referenced in the movies or any of the books, but why are the female officers called sir? I'm sure other current or former military out there have the same reaction I have when I hear it. If the Star Wars culture is to be gender neutral, other references should change as well. King Amidala, Prince Leia Organa and so on.
