"Sir"

Depends entirely on the position they were meant to fill. What it entailed and what gender neutral title we can liken it too.

why is Sir not gender neutral? You could easily use it as such.

Also, honorifics and epithets are really neat and if you're gonna use them, you should have some variety to them. Make up a heirarchy for noble titles, whatever. Guls and Moffs and Thots and whatever the fuck.

Woah there Shithead did you just use only two letters for a gender, a MALE construct as seen by the word "he"?

>>50475764
Ser, It's been said before but that is it though in a fantasy setting and in general for most languages that have strong famine/masculine divide it is important to note that the Masculine title is treated as gender neutral. This is referred to as defaulting to Masculine. For example if you have a Prince and Princess and you lump them together in english they are Princes. If you don't know someones gender, and you don't know them or anything about them, you refer to them as He until such time as you know better.

And a good rule for old times fantasy settings, when referring to the person in front of you, refer to them by their sex over their gender. Sex was the more important trait over gender. No one gave two shits about your gender in Ragnar Lothbrooks days. If you had a dick, you got a axe and a shield and you fought in the shield wall. If you had tits and a slit you got a sword and a shield and you fought in the shield wall.

>>50475945
>>50475931
Depends on the country and branch.

>>50475931
But my video games and movies say they use Ma'am. That's just another way to pronounce madam, right? Madam pronounced properly sounds like a weird title to use for a military officer.

>>50475931
Correct. You address female superior officers as 'Sir' or by their rank, unless told otherwise.

>>50475764
For a knight?
"Knight," "Herr," "Comate," "Banneret."

>>50475883
>lord is technically gender neutral
This is a modern concept, traditionally "Lady" was the female equivalent to lord.

>>50475886
>why is Sir not gender neutral? You could easily use it as such.
Sure you could, but generally "Sir" is derived from "Sire," which is essentially itself comes from old French "Seigneur." It's an explicitly gendered term, and it's counterpart is "Ma'am", which comes from "Madam" -> -> -> "Mademoiselle."

Essentially, the reason a lot of titles in english are gendered is because the high class people in old english society spoke that weird version of old french, so all of their titles were french, and french has always had a very strong focus on gendered words. Same reason all the words for prepared animal meat in english are french words. Fancy douchbags.

>>50475968

>>50475961
>But my video games and movies say they use Ma'am.
They can. See >>50475968
American military, at least, you default to sir. Some female officers prefer ma'am, others prefer sir, some don't give a shit either way.

And if a male superior officer tells you to refer to him as ma'am, know that you're going to be fucked either way. That one's a joke.

>>50475968

Fucking where? Nine years as a US military and I never encountered that shit. The only time I heard of that shit was in movies and other bullshit.

>>50475764
>What's a good alternative to "Sir" in a fantasy setting?

Just use "Dame" for women, you buttchugger.

If the character in question lacks a gender, no sane king would ever bestow a knighthood on it in the first place, so the question is moot.

>>50475764
>Female knights
They wouldn't be called knights, they would be called something else. "Knight" literally means "boy" in the same manner that you would refer to a slave or a waiter.

Sir.

>Dame is a noble title, and the feminine form of address, for the honour of knighthood in the British honours system and the systems of several other commonwealth countries such as Australia and New Zealand (with the masculine form of address being "Sir").

>Because there is no female equivalent to a Knight Bachelor, women are always appointed to an order of chivalry. Women who are appointed to the Most Noble Order of the Garter or the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle are given the title of "Lady" rather than "Dame".

I like "Dragonslayer"

It actually works best in settings or places with little to no dragons left. It implies the title once held that specific meaning but has become more generic.

>>50475764
You could just say that "Sir" is now gender neutral and call it a day. We've done that with other titles. For example things like "Officer", "Magistrate", and "Judge" were all implicitly male because only men held those titles. Then women started to be allowed to make use of them, which made the titles gender neutral. In Vampire the Masquerade they did that with "Prince" and a few other titles, such that the ruler of a city is the Prince regardless of gender. Dark Ages Vampire also has an amusing version is that the vampires in France are ruled by five Queens, one of whom is male. There's some in-character argument as to whether it's more proper to call him a King or a Queen (he personally does not care).

Beyond that, you could make your own titles or borrow from other languages. For example the Turkish "Bey" is monosyllabic like "Sir" and has a smilar meaning, and while it's not gender neutral in its native tongue it could be used as though it were.

>>50475968
I've never NOT been chastised for calling a female superior "sir". no idea where you're coming form

>>50476186
Gender does not equal sex.
Gender is a social and psychological concept of what someone is supposed to do and how they are supposed to behave and how they are supposed to function. Everything you mentioned has no sex but likely has a gender even if that gender is programed into them.

>>50475925
IDK, I kind of like it

>>50476399
And if nobody bothers or intentionally doesn't program a gender?

>>50475950
This, for fuck's sake.
Most of 'gender' language differences are entirely based on the fact that we're looking at the physical things that make each side different and useful.

The man goes looking for ladies to make sons; and in fact even if he's gayer than a bag of dicks, he'll STILL make sure to produce some heirs if he's not a completely worthless piece of shit who doesn't care about his family.

The woman gets a good man and makes babies, because if we run out of people on the fucking wall, we have a fucking problem.

People NEED biology, and "but I wanna be called XEEEERRHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" is of no fucking use to anyone.

That's cribbed from addressing your social superiors, which has atrophied right the way down with the class system so it only counts for the royal family.

Either way, "he" and "sir" are both masculine and gender neutral.

Miles. It means "soldier" in Latin, and it's what knights were called in Latin, apparently. Alternatively, bellator.

I'm personally found of Chevalier as unisex title for Knights and associated nobles. A lot of Latin terms can appear unisex (so long as none of your players understand a lick of latin.

>>50476686
>everybody wants lots of kids
Depends a lot on when and where you are. The state more consistently wanted everyone having more kids. Agrarian families with a lot of land wanted more kids in the short term. City families, fishers, some herders, farmers with fewer strips of land, and farmers who don't want to split what they have eight ways... they wanted to be a bit more careful about that shit.

A male in particular not producing kids has evolutionary kin selection advantages. Your brothers and sisters share your genes, so contributing to your nieces' and nephews' survival counts as evolutionary success because your genes don't care if you got your rocks off as long as they're transferred. Additional males don't actually amp up the reproductive capacity of a community, and they split the inheritance. This is why they get dumped into warfare or clergy, why landless laborers fuck widows rather than settling down and having kids, and so on.

>The wall

>>50475764
If you mean "sir" as in how you address a stranger politely then "my lord" or "my lady" are the medieval equivalent.

If you mean "sir" as in the title bestowed upon a knight then there is no real historical alternative. You're free to make up your own.

Also, titles are not gender neutral. Women were not knights. There were no SJWs in the middle ages either.

The easiest thing to do is have some influential protoculture to borrow words from, like we borrow from Latin.

I, for instance, always have a protoculture in which the generic honorific is "isiim" because its easy to pronounce, short, and doesnt sound like any recognizable english word of phrase. From there you get various corruptions based on local dialects. Northerners use "chem" occasionally with an affrictive "r" at the end because its easier to say in the cold without moving to much air over your tongue. Southerners say the more elaborate nan'isiim with various bolt-on suffixes for effect or more specific reverence. In high society its replaced with ist, because everyone is one and its shorter

That being said, and going back to the OP's question
>>50475764
I could imagine Seigneur being useful as the gender neutral variant.
1. You worry about the word 'Sir' so you and your friends most likely use English as your primary language. Seigneur is foreign enough to not be bothersome. It sounds cool and exotic.
2. Assuming a world of total gender equality where women are not only allowed to become knights but function with the same strength and bravery as men, I imagine it's possible that even female superiors are adressed with the male term as a sign of respect. They effectively become 'honorary men', de facto making seigneur gender neutral.

I never post normally, but it's Dame

>>50475764
Depends on the culture surrounding it. Do you have a more specific culture in mind? Different titles will have different connotations.

Unhelpful sidenote that's been brought up already: Sir is gender neutral in certain cultures for certain orders of knights. Some knightly orders had female knights referred to as "Sir". (Including the Order of the Rose which was the first order to accept a female knight {I could be mistaken about this. I haven't researched knightly orders in quite some time.}) Some knightly orders had female knights referred to as "Dames", although these were actually rarer than the ones that used "Sir". Then there's the overwhelming majority of orders.... which simply didn't have female knights. However, this is medieval fantasy through the window of modern culture. So you're plenty free to ignore that last bit and do what you will. If anything, it's encouraged.

Marine vet here, you're either retarded or pulling shit out of your ass. All female officers within the Corps are referred to as Ma'am no matter what.

IS EVERYONE ON THIS FUCKING THREAD AN EX-MARINE?

>>50477556
Who is she?

No, I'm retired Army. Though I did have a drinking buddy who was an ex-Marine if that makes you feel better, caps-kun.

>>50490370
I'm a civilian and conscription was abolished ages ago in my country too. Plus we don't have Marines or anything similar - that handful of ships we have is staffed by navy crew and personell.
Just doing my graveyard shift right now.

how about Sai?

in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, the fantasy-sided characters would refer to elders or others as Sai

>>50490353
Seconding here, Marine. I've been blasted by any female officer, regardless of rank or branch, for not using ma'am. With some of them it is hard to tell though.

>>50490757
It isn't so bad. Unless you're in 29 Palms. Then it is a thousand different sorts of suck.

>>50493075
You don't get it, do you?
It's about their tactical "brilliance" of using heavy cavalry in a region infamously muddy, with shitload of lakes, marshes and really thick forest.

No matter the season, they were acting like idiots and always surprised when they've lost.

>>50488803

former marine here, I've been blasted for using Ma'am before. So im not sure what to believe

The worst one is "I work for the living, soldier" when you try to adress NCOs

>>50495856
And from where I come from, NCO has absolutely no privilidges over grunts, because he's a grunt himself, only with minor authority over them.
So the real division is from lieutenant and above.

Does it bring anything to the subject?

Your glory days are over, your contract is null and invalid and you are probably getting scraps of pension now, if at all. But guess what - nobody gives a fuck.

>>50495978
Son, I don't want to shatter your dream, but the main difference between Marine and Army is in name and how is pulling strings in the high command.
But down to level of an average soldier, it's the same shit as always. Only that one is let to believe he's special and not just meat for the grinder.

Führer is a masculine word. A female would be known as Führerin.

Like könig and königin (king and queen).

>>50496100
So you are saying "she" is in fact him?
German uses gender forms, you idiot. Proper form would be Führerin.

Poor people wanted a fuckload of kids because many would die to illness or accident, or crime, or something else, and someone had to take care of you when you´re old.

If you had little land (or none, as was more common in the Middle Ages. The land belongs to the Lord, you rent it from him to work it and the privilege to keep a portion of the harvest) you still wanted a fuckload of children for the very same reason. One gets the land, the rest had other options which vary with time period and location.

>>50475764
Chinese has no gender specific titles.

>>50496291
Not really. In spoken, if your accent sucks, it will get lost, confusing the hell out of people. If you write it down, it's very obvious what gender you are referring to and you should, unless you want to confuse your readers with applying wrong or no gender.
>T. Czech sitting in China for 2 years

>>50496291
If you are talking about female conducting just about any task, you must add it's a female, otherwise people will assume you are talking about a guy.
So while the word itself is gender-neutral, you still need to specify the gender to fill the context.

>>50475764
Slut


Because if it's an "honorific" that women can obtain as well, then it's about as honorable and dignified as being a slut.

Not really, we have gender-specific pronouns, but most traditionally male-only titles can probably be given to a female without much awkwardness -- "she is the king", so to speak. The majority of our nouns have no gender. On the other hand, you can't really use the titles of the wives or daughters of the nobility on a guy.

I don't know why, but this is the way it is.

>>50475968
That's cute.

Call a female instructor sir instead of ma'am in boot and you'll get a new asshole torn

>>50496575
I'm not questioning the whole thing, just pointing out there is a lot of situations where you need to specify the gender of the person you are talking about, or it might be confusing. This of course is not an issue when you adress such person directly, which OP probably wanted first and foremost. My bad, I guess, with going overzelous
