How Do You Feel About The Term "goddess"?

I see men (over)use this often to describe a woman, and often I find it a strange term that over-fetishizes a woman. But, rather than make assumptions, I wonder what you all think about it.

Personally I don't like to be put on a pedestal. I'm not a queen, goddess, princess, none of that.

My fella doesn't have a pet name for me of any kind. We don't call each other "babe", nothing. We address one another by name.

That's just me, and my personal preference. I know several women who enjoy being called "goddess". To each their own.

If "goddess" is meant in the Hela Odinsdottier "I'm not a queen or a monster. I'm the Goddess of Death." I'm down.

I am a goddess. I think it says so in my signature. :joy:

As far as men using that term, it doesn’t bother me. I haven’t ever been called “goddess” by a partner. But I think women should be treated well. Not worshipped, but I’d like to think my potential partners would consider themselves blessed/lucky to have me. Cause they would be. I’m a catch! :)

I was called Goddess by my exhusband. I called him Antlered One. it was a shared vision we had the night we got together.
Sometimes the sex is transcendent.

much like the mixed gender couples who use king and queen, we had equivalent terms for one another.

if it’s some do-me sub sniffing around, the term makes me retch.

Meh... not my thing. I think it is intended to be a compliment but I agree it fetishizes the female form/puts her on a pedestal vs being an equal/partner. No thanks.

Never my cuppa tea. All kind o kink, do what is ya thing with folk of like mind. But. For me? Not religious remotely but seems rude all the same. Am flesh n blood n mortal. Don't compare me to the divine. Absurd n over the top and not in a fun way.

I am a fan of it if used by the right person. My partner(s) are more than allowed to use that as they do essentially worship my body and they know me well enough to earn the right to use such a term. I find it offputting if used casually by someone who doesn't know me though.

It doesn't bother me, I just take it as a term of endearment or complement. I do a fair amount of roleplay and the term comes up a fair bit during those situations, I don't think anything of it tbh, Goddess, Giantess, Mistress, it's all part and parcel!
Those who know me will know that I use the term hunni quite often, my husband uses darling and sweetheart a lot, it's just a phrase as far I'm concerned X

those terms sound like you are a D-type, or switch. For those of us on the other side of the slash, it’s incorrect-feeling.

Am very much kinky. Switch-y. More of everything for me. Still do not like "goddess". Mistress or ma'am will do, if using something that's a she/her kind of way. Fantasy is lovely n all but still needs grounded in reality for in person for me. Online/text, whole other barrel o beasties.

My Top space, hell all my spaces, are rather a masculine energy. Any talk of Goddess, other than the aforementioned Hela Odinsdottier, will quickly kill my mood. No matter who I am messing around with.

What shocks me is that unless I am dragging it up, put out no shade of Goddess/Mistress vibe. But dudes who see a woman that might physically represent a dominant fantasy * I am tall and fairly muscled up again, will roll out the same tired approach. Huge turn off, cuz I know instantly that everything is about their fantasy and I am only meant to fill a place holder in their wank bank. Blech.

I am the Goddess of Death. And I am going to fuck you blue-eyed. Ya welcome.

Maybe some Kali?
