Am I a good rule?
People will attribute masculine and feminine gender to ‘master’ and ‘mistress’ respectively, but I think master would be the ‘neutral’ pick here.
Or you can shuck the dynamic with: owner, divine, ruler, royal, liege, or any number of ranks with which you attribute subservience! :3
You aren’t your dogs mistress
I’ll grant that it sounds a bit archaic, but “mistress” is technically correct there.
But yes, agreed that “master” can be used in a gender-neutral way.
