(cw: sex work)

Women were the first to phase, the first by about a thousand years, so the tactics men used to control them on other worlds didn't hold weight there. And her foremothers firmly established power in their own hands. "It's shared now. It wasn't for a long while, although the women of my family can be traced back to the very first woman to phase." And better than most, he's at least trying. "Very stifling expectations. Women of my line have tended towards being diplomats, at least the ones who don't wear the crown yet."

"I know. The image of the fallen woman and such. But I've never seen it that way. It's...a method of helping, just the same as a long talk would be. It may be a bit personal for others and I respect that. But locals, they seem to see the more intimate side of things the same way we might see some time on the psychologist's couch."

Which doesn't make sense to her, not between the role of the Mistress as a love goddess and her time in the Other world where people seemed to drop trou without much prodding. Shouldn't almost everyone be in need of such treatment from time to time?
