In the military, in basic training, the first person is not allowed to the men because they need to be "stripped" of the idea that they're important except how their commanding officer and the government sees fit. It's not, so much "objectification" as it is "de-humanization". It's a "chink in the armor" of our ego, which needs to be broken down (to varying degrees), if we're going to serve. "Sir, this recruit requests permission to make an emergency, standing head call, sir!" In the case of the military, it also serves to show the men that they are all equally (worthless [to the chain of command] until they prove themselves to be) qualified to serve. Hmmmmmm ... to my mind, I see some parallels ... Early on, if a submissive wishes me to accept her service, I need to know that it will be pleasing to me and, while I detest the word "training" is needed in some form or another. I can be exacting and I have a touch of the O.C.D. going on and certain things must be done, as I wish them done. So, I would see this method of third-person reference as a good, early, "training" aid (I've used it, before, in the military). However, just like the men eventually graduated basic training, a submissive whose service is pleasing should be given certain "latitudes" (In my mind); one of them being the privilege of NOT speaking about themselves as if they haven't proven themselves yet. Yeah, I guess this makes me pompous but, that's why there's 8 horses in each race. Peace and comfort, Michael
