It's because woman does not imply a relationship to anyone, so saying my woman is implying actual ownership. In contemporary English, that is.
This seems strange..
In Greek we never say "my wife" unless in a very formal setting. 99,999% of the time we say "my woman" to refer to the one we're married too. And no one considers this derrogatory; not even the most radical feminists.
My guess (and it's only a guess) is that *be'wI'*/my woman/ would be acceptable to Klingons in the same way it seems acceptable to you in Greek. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
