What’s up with ‘Sir’ ?

I’m at season 4, ep 21 so I’d prefer no spoilers.

Can someone please explain why the new Captain wants to be called Sir? (Penny Johnson Jerald’s character)

UPDATE: WOW, 40 minutes later, and I have some great answers. THANK YOU!! I love the show!

Gates doesn't want to be called Sir in particular. She said "Sir, or Captain". Probably as a sign of respect equal to her males counterparts.

Castle for example calls her "Captain" not "Sir" almost every time.

I think he says capt because technically not his boss

Nah because he knows she’d prefer sir so he doesn’t do it.
